Brand new member! Hi everybody, I'm Zack. I've checked out this page for years, but for whatever reason never signed up- so I'm fixing that now. I'm primarily interested in early 70s B-body cop cars, but I can't seem to join copcar.com, and most of the B-body forums don't care for the four doors. So I hope to make some great friends and find new resources here! I look forward to talking with you!

Hey phantom440 ! Cool handle Yeah I like those early 70's B-body cop cars, too. There's not as much stuff out there for those. I had a hell of a time once just trying to find a pic of a Coronet I was starting to think they didn't have a police package that year! Ha, I can't remember what year I was searching but I do like the 1971-73 Coronet's. The '74 is also a car we've posted here for sale on a few occasions and I like the look of that one as well, actually I'd say the '74 is my favourite front end of the '71-'74 Coronet's. Welcome.

Thanks, guys! Regarding the username, you guys probably already know this, but the "phantom" comes from John Belushi's production company before he died and the "440", well, you know. Plus I just like the alliteration. I do have a '71 Coronet. Nothing special at all- just a vinyl roof medium green 318/904 Custom like thousands of others. I bought it before I went down to film school with plans of making it my "hero" car for a film I've written, but the vinyl roof was hiding some pretty nasty cancer and like you said, parts for these are almost non-existent. So now I'm on the hunt for a non vinyl roof car. Ideally a '71 police car with a big block, but at this point I'm willing to take any steel-top base model. Or if I could find a bb/4-speed, that'd be great, too. I hope to find one in the Police Cars page on the site. Anyway- I know it's not a C-body, but I hope to share this project with you all, if one ever comes up in my price range.
