Default GTO Speed Trap

Does anyone have the ad for the GTO with it sitting by the road behind a sign like a cop speed trap, waiting to catch a passing Crown Vic???

I think he plans to put the PIT menuver on the cop when he goes by. Cool picture I never seen that one before.

Every single F-Body

My local chevy dealer still has a 35th LE in the showroom, and 3 Z28s outside. I test drove the SOM Z28 they had a few weeks ago, thing was slow as ****. They've been sitting so damn long...nobody wants them.

I bet if they were down here in the South, it would be GONE!
Are these f-bods still new or are they used one's?
I have a hard time believing they are still left over from 2002.

Someone photochop in a TA instead of that hmmmmm.... car.

That was a 9C1 caprice, probably the most perfect police car of all time.

No way, best cop car - '74 Dodge w/ 440 wedge. To quote Elwood "...it's got a cop motor..cop tires, and was made before catalytic converters"
Those things were tanks and they still hauled ***!

Police still use the Chevrolet Caprice too, and it has an LS1.



...but it's only for sale in the Middle East.
