NOT MINE

I like it though, and swirled around it a month ago when a member found it on CL and hipped me to it.

I went another direction but still like this car. Well done in my view and indicated it at least started life as a factory-equipped cop fleet spec'd R-body. Real cop R's are hard to find.

Hope it finds a good home.

I bet whoever turned you on to that one Ray is really just an all around Good guy.:rolleyes:
 
When I was 16 my father had a 1980 Plymouth Gran Fury that was a former PA State Patrol car. He didn't like the idea of me driving it, but I got plenty of wheel time in it. Wasn't so fast off the line, but the sky was the limit as far as top end goes.
