All Wheel Drive Plymouth Cop Car

[SeaFuse]

From an old Hi-Po Cars Magazine in the basement. If it's of interest to anybody I can scan and post the whole articel These cop cars were equipped with 4-speeds as the GKN t-case wouldnt fit with a 727. Full time all wheel drive.

Ok I'll scan it in a couple days after I find it.
The conversion was not performed by Chrysler and was a bit of a, Let's say "professionally engineered hack job." But done pretty well. I used to work with a guy who was on the project.

Did they produce any that actually made it to the street?

Yes but only as retrofits. And just a small handfull. Almost doubled the proce of the car.

Zee-wiz, you have to show us the complete article! A Ferguson four-wheel system?
(It worked on Jensen FF, which all had a Mopar BB, so why not on a C-body?)

did a search on his name and got to pics of a 65 mustang that he had done an all wheel drive to , and the transfer case is used in those awd race trucks .

Any high speed chase with one of these would likely have to include a gas stop.

So, it could be done: take a rusted-out old Jensen FF, transplant the necessary organs, and voila: you have a 4wd C-body. (Finding the donor will prove to be the hardest part.)

I actually did see a parts-car Jensen a few years ago in a town near Flint, MI... doubt it was an FF.
