B4C Police package? Anyone on here own a B4C Camaro? I am preparing to buy a 2001 model when it comes off line with the Hwy Patrol. Any one have any tips on what to look for when inspecting it? All help is appreciated.

I had a 9C1 caprice (B4C for the Impalla SS) Look for how well the police equitment was removed (radios, lights, pushguards ect...). Check the interior for exsesive wear and tear.
Other than that just the normal stuff you'd check on any car your buying.
Good luck with the car and if you dont mind me asking: how much are you buying it for?

8k is what they are selling it for. It has 75,000 miles on it. I know the trooper that has driven it since it was new. It hasn't been wrecked and other than the driver seat needs repair, it looks to be in good shape. They have to receive regular scheduled maintence by policy, so i know it's been serviced properly. I'm new to Camaros and I was shocked to find that it didn't have a metal body. The car is still in use, but will go out of service in a couple of weeks.

75k isn't bad for a ex-cop car, mine had 91k on it when i bought it and now has over 100k so your lucky.
The one really good thing about B4C's is that theyre all hardtops (no t-tops) this means that you wont have to deal with the leaks that come with t-tops. Plus they look alot better IMHO.
Heres a good informational website: http://www.9c1.com/brochures/2001/01_b4c.pdf They have specs on all police issue vehicels.

I just got an ex-cop car too. It was an unmarked car though. I got it for a smokin good price but it's high mileage, and there's a couple things i gotta fix, like the alternator is goin out, but that's to be expected for a car with all that stuff they have running all the time.

Baiscly the cheapest things you can do is get an airbox lid, then maybe some LT headers and a cutout. After that it starts to get expensive.

The free mods are some little tricks to help snag a little extra power for nothing if they work or not is debated.
