How to get police options on civilian Mopar?

[68plymouth383]

There's still a few old school family owned Chrysler dealers around. Your essentially wanting a base model with a high performance drivetrain. I'd try some of the hill country dealerships over the major city ones. You may find a good 'ol boy that will fix you up.

I'll try that. Every month or two I have to work in an out-of-the way town -- Uvalde, etc.

Good find, thanks. Says it's for sale to municipality or law enforcement, though. And it's a six-banger. But that's the idea.

And just to clarify for everyone, I'm not looking for a "real" police car. I don't want the push bar, spotlights, etc. Just the super basic interior, HD suspension, V8, steelies. Basically the modern day equivalent of a Max Wedge car or '69 1/2 RR.

Keep in mind that if you can order the car the way you want you will pay more for less.

Be sure to get a sure grip rear diff. That way you can do smoky burnouts!!

You could go online and order one also. It gives you a complete list of available options with nobody to say no.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong place but when I try to go through those "build & price" steps it is very limited -- I can't find a full a la carte checklist -- it's already saying no! Basically what I want to do is start with an SE or SXT and then put on a handful of key options. But the Hemi does not come up as available on those trims, plus those trims already include a bunch of stuff I don't want, like multimedia options.

I guess I need to give up on this idea that I'm going to be able to order a Hemi car for $25k. Will probably get a used one for $10k or under and Lysol the bejeezus out of the back seat.

You have to order at least an RT to get a 5.7 or up.


Then there's the packages, you can't get this without that.

That's a good idea and with the money you save by a good Hotsy steam cleaner.

My assumption all along has been that SURELY there's a way around that. But maybe not.

 

[polara71]

If there is I haven't seen it and an awful lot of guys are unaware of it

You might try contacting a small town city controller. They handle all the money flow and fleet vehicle ordering for their community. Perhaps adding an extra vehicle to their fleet order they may save them a few bucks and so may be receptive to a deal like that.

Not sure how the finance would work, you pay and they order ..... they order and sell to you via a closed bid..... The controllers are usually open to saving some money.

 

[polara71]

If your town goes to a dealer that has a state contract no need for bid. The town walks in and orders what they need

Do a google search on "Dodge Charger Pursuit Hemi -- model LDDE48 w/package 29A"


AND maybe one of your local dealers will be willing to transport?

$34K

The days of massaging the palms to get an engine that is not offered on the particular model are gone.
Every engine/tranny/rear end combo for every make/model has to do an EPA test for approval.
Manufacturers cant afford that.
If the order sheet says this engine is what get, you ain't getting around it.
No more 1 of nones.

Now that I know the codes, though, I can find dealers with those in stock and see if they'll let one go, versus trying to finagle a one-car order from Fleet. Thanks 67Monaco!

Yep, they're out there. Just got to find one in TX...

 

[polara71]

But are those HEMI engines?
