Just curious if there are any other cars that can still be bought with that option code.

According to the GM Fleet site, the special service package or police package is only offered on the Impala, Tahoe, Express van, and Hummer H1. I don't think they have ever done a Police package on a vette, but not completely sure...

I was wondering. I didn't know if they made a vette or not, but I know that there are vettes used as police cars out there. I do get a kick out of the purple unmarked camaro the police have in northern virginia.

GM built (at least 2) "Police Package" ZR-1's (back in the Day) for the Georgia State police or Highway Patrol. Not sure if it had an option code or not.

This would be my guess. Actually, in standard form, Vettes are pretty much beefed-up anyway, so I can't imagine what additional heavy duty items would be needed for "chase duties"...just blueberries, cherries, siren, and radio...

yeah and how would that work if they had to arrest someone? cage for the passenger side of the vette? lol I guess they would have to hold them and call for B/U?

I don't think all police package vehicles from GM use the B4C RPO code. I beleive the Caprices used 9C1, not sure about the others....
