Its a 396...
The car is a COPO...service vehicle

I know someone restoring the identical car...documented with build sheet

Orlando is exactly correct....this 1966 Biscayne is indeed a COPO vehicle....Special Order, Police Car 396 with a 2 speed powerglide transmission. Look for it to be debuted in a few years.....along with an amazing display!

With this car being so rare...I would say that there is a good chance of it being this same Police Biscayne in this picture.

Obviously I like these 2 Dr. Sedan cop cars being my '67 is an ex RCMP unmarked 2 Dr. Post Ghost car...factory 140 Speedo, 396 'IV' L35/M40 and original cowl tag w/ a Fleet Code & 'RED TAG RCMP' imprinted on it..
Love to see more on the '66 being restored if at all possible?.
There was another '66 396 2Dr. Post ex Police project car for sale up here in Canada a year or so ago from New Mexico or somewhere like that I think...probably still around if anyone's in the need?.
A few months back there was a '64 ex RCMP 2 Dr. Post SB car for sale in Western Canada...cheap too and I don't know what became of it?.
There's a restored '62 ex RCMP 2 Dr. Post car in British Columbia somewhere too...a SB car that was for sale for too much $ a few years back..
I remember the Police Mopar winged car story mentioned above too...yes New Mexico or somewhere like that, confiscated by the cops and put into service also may even have been the rarer Daytona not the SuperBird?.
That black '61 Poncho unmarked Batwing Post car that was in a few mags a couple years back is pretty cool too...supposedly about 50 built?.

I have a 1969 396 from a local police car. Two barrel intake and carb, same guts as a 350HP otherwise.
