@SonOfaTomP here's one you can rescue from an unfortunate fate

Those might be the worst looking dog dishes I've seen. But they shouldn't rust and clean up OK?

Definitely not an old cop car like the ad says. It does have aftermarket fuel injection and edelbrick intake, which adds something to the value.

Agreed, not an AHB, and that sniper EFI looks poorly installed.

i saw it. it looks neat but 100% not AHB. i can't remember what Hagerstown PD used back in the day. Hagerstown is like 3 hrs away. i've also had my eye on the Gaithersburg Fifth Avenue. i need a new house before i can fill the lot with more junkers.

the lollipops in the back window might evidence it had at least some sort of fleet use. i also see aftermarket rear shoulder belts. interesting. i want to know how the hell did he get rust on stainless steel dog dishes?

listing wording is just weird to me. makes no mention of the Sniper EFI. but he says "police carburetor"

I didn't notice that stuff till you said it.
The lights were probably added by whoever did the dog dishes to make it look more like a cop car.
There's no strong metal back there so in an accident those added on shoulder belts could do more harm then good tearing out or severely bending the metal and adding an unsafe amount of slack to the rest of the belt.

The fuel injection looks decently installed at least there's no major hacked up wires it looks like they tied into the factory wiring as much as they could without cutting out plugs.
