I haven't been on here in a while, I forgot that a police department decided to show off their collection at a drag event where anyone can try their car. It's a Plymouth Fury I with a 383. Cruiser on the right is a new Chevy I guess they are adopting. Ford Interceptors do mid 17's. Police Chargers are high 16's. They ran the Chevy once and did a 15.97.

 

Did they run the '70 plym fury? awesome car!

 

My old neighbor, retired CHP they used to clock those 440 big Dodges at 160 in flying mile on the freeway !!

 

I did not stay long enough to see if they ran it or not. I doubt it though. I did not know they made special seats for the people that sit in the back. The front was a cloth bench and the back had a very simple vynil bench.

This one has a 383, so it probably wasn't a highway car but I'm sure it still hauls

 

I love it. One of these days I'd like to have an old police crusier like that atleast for a little while.

 

Sweet car. I like the chrome tips on the pipes. Didn't think a police car would have those.
I would imagine the vynil rear seat would be easier to keep clean. The cloth seats were more comfortable to be sitting for 8 hours a day or more.

 

ive got a 72' ex state police car with a 440 in ittalked to a cop once said they used to peg the 140 speedo and get about 20 over
