I am returning this interesting car to the road for some friends it has sat for near ten years - it has a dead on replica speaker for the roof that I still need to remount - interesting story behind the car - I just have to sort it all out. what is really strange is this was a CHP car - was not a pursuit package ( I know my mopars) but was definitely optioned as a supervisors car or maybe detective. If the story behind it is verified it could be interesting. The car will be doing some charity work in the near future.  |

Welcome aboard doubled.
It appears to be a hardtop custom.
edit:
I'd also be curious to see if it has any police options.

Good looking Blumo, DD. Why was it sitting for 10 years? Hiding from the rollers? ;D Welcome aboard.  |

It's from Ohio just south of Cleveland - the owner passed away from cancer a few years back - great guy could have been Jake's twin brother from another mother. The car had the cop screen in the back seat area mounted from the upper shoulder belt mounts - you can still see the imprints on the head rests. it has the police package factory tranny cooler and radiator - it is a 360 four barrel - Kinda bizarre seeing a hard top as a cop car but I have dismantled a few in my days and usually the hard tops were detective cars or other State type vehicles. I did not find the build sheet yet but still looking. The car came from California then to Arkansas finally landed in Ohio. C-bodies are not my thing but this thing is has it's own personality

Nope it came with the car - just had to mount it up. Also have the life-size Jake & Ellwood statues to go with it. Based on what I can cobble together in the paperwork that came with the car - it was made by a prop company in California for the what appears to be the House of Blues
