Vifa Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Hi, I saw this car back in 2008, had the opportunity to buy it in 2015 but missed it. It came up for sale last week and this time I was lucky :-) Now as the car is sitting in my garage I'm quite excited to dive into the story of the car. I was told it might have been a police car, but I'm working on getting this confirmed. Meanwhile I have spent quite some time trying to decode the bodytag - but surfing the internet turned out with no luck. Can someone please help decoding a bodytag? :-) Best Regards Victor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 very nice car, rarely did police use 2 door vehicles, but maybe a Chief of Police. Hope all that Chrome is as good as it looks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 What is on the tag, it should have paint and trim numbers along with a body type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vifa Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 Hi, All chrome was redone about 15-20 years ago. I remember this from the first time I saw the car in 2008, a lot was spent and it still looks amazing. Here is a picture of the bodytag - and one of my own pictures of the car from tonight :-) Best Regards Victor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vifa Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 Hi Norman, That looks gorgeous 😄 What is the story about the fender spotlight? .. Is that from an ambulance? The guy I bought my car from had one of these too. Still interested to know if anyone can help decode my car from the body tag, I'm also interested in more general information about these cars such as production numbers, options etc. or places to search for more information. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianad1156 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 There was some special equipment used on the police cars. First thing that comes to mind is the generator. If it has some of the police car parts still there I would think that is a good indicator. I dont think anything on the body tag or serial number would tell you. I've not seen info on numbers to that degree of fidelity. Perhaps a vintage history might be fruitful. Some states might let you get info about the title and ownership.
