Look what I was in yesterday

One of my earliest cars was an ex Nassau County auction Cop Plymouth Fury from around 1963.
Dad supervised my sealed bid of $151, won it buy $1.
Turned out the transmission was dead.
Fortunately Dad was an expert mechanic and rebuilt it for next to nothing.
Paint job was about $100 from a neighborhood shop.
That was a fast car zero to 90, but no top end.
Abused it for a few years and got tired of it.
Eventually sold it for about $1500, but can't remember what I replaced it with.

I don't think CHP used Fords that year,at least I never remember seeing one.
The Maverick hubcaps don't look right either.

It's a definite fake it was just a plain old Ford Galaxy when he bought it

Which makes it even better - I love when people do things that are fun and unique with their cars.

I love the real ex-police cars,but I think it would get old owning one,
as you have to cover up the logos & lights while driving on public roads.
I was tempted to buy a used CHP Mustang when you could still get
one from the CHP.

Most of the municipal sources remove all logos and cop equipment before sale.
The one I got was stripped down to the paint.

Not a problem here in the UK to emulate a cop car from over seas, but not one of our own,
Impersonating a police officer is a big no no

Just saw a similar car in Hythe marina.

First car I ever actually paid money for was ex-police (Thiensville WI), but it was an unmarked '88 Crown Vic so no worries about emblems or paint job. It was subtle silver, and the only giveaways that it wasn't a grandpa car were the spotlight and lack of a vinyl roof.

That, and the fact that it could keep up with Corvettes pretty well. Oh, and the stupid punk beating the snot out of it...
