Cool story Tommy, thanks for posting it!.
Obviously I have an interest in old Cop cars...more so unmarked units but they're all cool!.
Although successful as road-racing cars, my AMC product experience was more than enough to know Javelins wouldn't be a great choice for handling and pursuit use...scary thought really!.
You'd have to expect the service and performance records of these units in Police duty wouldn't have added up to a favourable outcome as repeated punishment would soon expose many other weak points of this era's AMC cars!.
