If the part is the same between years the listing will show. Example, lets look up a wheel.
Group 5.803 1961-63[year range] 40-41-43009[car series]. . . . . . . 578258[part number]. . . .10.85[list price] WHEEL, (13 X 4 1/2). . . . . . . .5[number required]
One item of importance will be the effective date of the catalog, the closer that is to your car year the more parts it will have listed. Example an Master parts book for models 1949 to 1966 inclusive with an effective date of July 1, 1966 will have every thing listed available for 1966 model year cars while a 1940 model car will only have a very few parts listed. Only parts still available at the time of the book's effective date will be listed.

It's not suprising that the '77 LeMans Enforcer was a 1 year wonder. Pontiac had a big push for police car sales that year, the next year GM downsized all of the "A" body cars which the Lemans was based on. In '77 the 400 and 350 engines were available, in '78 a 301 was the V8 engine.
What was suprising is that Pontiac even make the effort to widely market a police car. The Austin, Tx police dept ran a fleet of 77 Lemans as did many other agencies.

My '67 Delmont speedo goes reads 120 MPH and has Certified Police Speedometer on the face, 120 is the max reading for Olds police speedos in the 60's and 70's as far as I know. All 67 Oldsmobile "Apprehender" packages came as Highway Patrol series and a City Crusier package. Both included certified speedometers.
I have brochures on 77, 82, 83 and 85 Chevrolet police cars and they all list the certified speedo reading 120 MPH.
Fords and Chrysler products generally used higher reading speedometers.
I also have a 80 Buick LeSabre Lawman brochure.
The BT1 package included a 350 engine/turbo400 trans, (1)Heavy Duty Cooling, (2)Heavy Duty Energizer, (3)80 AMP Delcotron, (4)Heavy Duty Frame, Springs, wheels. (5)Notch back front seat w/arm rest, (6)Common key system, (7)Semi-Metallic pads disc brake, (8)2:73 Axle, (9)Police pursuit tires, (10) police calibrated speedometer, (11)full size spare tire.
(1) L-77 350 4-barrel V-8, (2)Automatic Transmission, (3)Fast ratio steering, (4)Rear stabillizer bar, (5)Heavy duty stabilizer bushing. List price was $491.00.
Additional options are as follows,
(1)heavy duty seat buns (frt) $17.00, (2)BG9 heavy duty rubber floor mats (replaces carpets-must specify BT1) $20.00, (3)C95 Dome reading light (only available with BT1) 20.00.

My gut feeling on this car is that its not a police package car. It does not have a police certified speedometer! The restorer of this car could had removed the side molding to make it look more like a cop car. His hupcaps are not correct for a '73.
This is info from "Chevrolet Police Cars" a 222 page book by Edwin J Sanow.
In the '73 section it states that "The full size '73 Chevrolet police cars were based on the BelAir and the Impala. The B07 police chassis equipment and BY2 police body equipment packages were available on the four-door sedans, two-door coupe and the two-seat and three-seat station wagons in both trim levels."
Lots of small towns used ordinary sedans purchased from a favored small town dealership.
As far as trim deletes go I know that the California Highway Patrol(CHP)67 Olds Delmonts did not have the front door moldings due to interferance with the California shield. Civilian Delmonts had 5 holes pierced in the door skin for attaching the door molding. The door upper frame moldings were also devoid of bright trim which was standard on the civilian version. Many other years of CHP cars had front door molding deletes also.
Chrysler offered the 62 Newport as a police package and it deleted all the side trim that the civilian Newports had as standard equipment(a double row of horizontal stainless moldings the full length of the car.
There's another copcar book that has pics of a county in N.J. that had 4dr Buick Specials in '67 and '68.
And don't forget Buick built a special Special(2dr post Special body with Century front and mechanicals). That was a fleet order for the California Highway Patrol.

In Texas the Dept of Public Safety (DPS) (highway patrol) orders its patrol units with carpets and other high level interior trim. I know they have had carpeting and fabric seats since the '70's. I've owned various ex-DPS cars including 79 Dodge StRegis, 80 Chrysler Newport, 81 Plymouth Grand Fury, all had carpets and divided front seats with fabric and fold down armrest. 84 and 87 Ford Crown Victoria with carpets and divided cloth seats/fold down armrests, 84, 86, 87, 88, 89 Mustangs carpets and fabric seats. Dodge Diplomats 84-89 all had plush interiors, carpets/divided front seat with armrest and fabric. 89 Chev Caprice also with carpets,fabric divided seats with armrests.
I own a 67 California Highway Patrol unit(CHP)Olds Delmont 88 425 that has rubber floor covering as part of its specs and an unique fabric covered HD seat package.
Most municipal/county units are as a rule equipped with rubber floor covering and vinyl seats

Talk to Scotty in Austin. He has a wrecked 61 or 62 4dr Special with an auto trans. His phone # is 512-454-3392.

From '89 to '96 Chevrolet Caprice was "America's Police Car", outperformed and outsold all others.
Crown Vics are the choice for police cars by default. By the way in 1997 Ford bumped the price of the Crown Vic Interceptor package by $4,000 over the '96 Crown Vic.
Even in 2002 Ford Crown Vics still could not match a '96 Caprice on braking distance, zero to sixty times, top speed and handling.
Besides they do a lot better in a rear end collision(CV gas tank fires).

Be carefull buying a car in Iowa as it one of our states where cars tend to get quite rusty due to salt usage on the roads.

Sport Coupe is a 2 dr post car in the Olds world, 2 dr hdtps were called Holiday Coupes.

Front bumper is shared with '72 Olds 88, 98 and Custom Crusier, while the rear bumper will be 72 98 only. No further interchange among other GM brands. You need to visit Austin if you are looking for 98 bumpers as there are lots of engineless 455 98's around the city.

Olds 330 engines were also used in '66 and'67 model years '66-'67 F-85, Cutlass, '66 Jetstar, and '67 Delmont 88 330. Cast iron construction and the foundation for the later Olds 350/403/307/260 engines.

I just remove a inpact strip off a 89 Chev Caprice by cutting the nuts of the studs with a saw, then reinstalled on the new face bar with new nuts. Its also a good way to save the mounting studs on diecast nameplates and moldings.

I have for sale a complete cut off top(at base of back window and windshield) from a Suncoupe. Found it in a local parts yard a few years ago but the refused to sell complete car they would only sell parts! I'd take $200.00 or consider a offer and would need local pickup Austin, Tx.
