Nice catch! Big block for sure. I couldn't make out a color on the flags to tell if it's a 396 or 427.

I am off a year from what this thread is about but does anyone remember the clip from the A-Team where they are inside a service garage (if I recall that is what it was) and a 67 Impala blows up across the street. When the hood lands it is a 67 SS427 Z24 hood. I believe it was blue. I have not been able to find that clip on YouTube.

The cop car is a 2 door. They had 2 door cop cars back then??

It's been awhile -- but I think the Wisconsin State Patrol had 2 dr Chevys and MoPars back in the 60's and 70's ... TAZ |

I also know that Virginia had them in the early '60s. They were either for the Chief or detectives rather than for pursuit and arrests. They seemed to like the bigger engines too. Verne |
Re: 1966 Biscayne Police Car
Seems like most highway patrol cars were 2 doors back then. There are even pictures of Indiana state police 67 Impala fastbacks! I know New York, Massachusetts, Maine and Ohio definitely used 2 door Biscayne and Bel Airs. Perhaps it sometimes came down to the lowest cost when agencies put their orders out for bid. Many of the 396 cruisers were fitted with a COPO low-compression version of the L35 that ran on regular gasoline.

Tommy -- Wisconsin State Patrol also had their own version of the "Kenosha Kobras" ... they drove the 4dr AMC Ambassadors (spell). They were made in Wisconsin and rumor was they got extra engines with each car. TAZ

Re: 1966 Biscayne Police Car
Funny story about "different" LE vehicles... My wife was cruising home on 95n near Georgetown, MA back in the late 90s. Beautiful stretch of highway for high speed runs... She saw an exact duplicate of my 93 Z28 right down to a Marine sticker on the back window and window tint just ahead of her. She nailed it trying to be funny by passing "me". Cop flips the lights on and she nearly had a heart attack. Thankfully the statey was a Marine and also had a sense of humor. He asked her if she thought he was someone else and of course she said yes and told him about me and my Z. He ran her info, told her to tell me Semper Fi and let her go. I saw it a few times after that, but I don't know if they still run it.
