SOLD - 1965 Belvedere police (California)

[Steam McQueen]

- What a great old cop car!

Base model Belvedere I equipped with a 318 V8 and automatic transmission. It still has it's radio delete plate in the dash and the two holes from the microphone clip are in the dash, it still has the original gauges including a certified speedometer. An oil pressure gauge was added to replace the idiot light in the dash. It's an original 2 tone black and white, the paint code on the body tag reads 999 for special paint. I don't know what agency owned the car when new, it had two forward facing lights on the roof on mounting brackets based on the filled holes on the roof. There is a hole where a roof antenna was mounted and it looks to have had a rear facing light on the package tray. 1965 Belvederes were used by a number of police agencies including LAPD.

I guess that 318 Poly is the main turn-off to police car restorers. It's a cool unit otherwise, however.

And that's all it took. A 50 year old cop car for $1,500





I don't see any mention of what the original motor would have been in this car. Maybe it's on this tag somewhere ...





I was reading at oldride.com there were 5 Plymouth V8's for 1965. 273, 318, and 361 were the 2bbl and the 383 and 426 were 4bbl. The letter code for the engines is A-273, A-318, A-383 etc. but I don't see anything like that on that tag.

Cool old Belvedere.
