Forgotten muscle?

Absolutely correct, BonaVista. Did the NSW Police have these? I think they also used AMC Ramblers? Norm Allen had one with the number plate COP 777.

When I was still in the cops, Commissioner Jim Lees still used that plate. I can't remember if the following Commissioner, John Avery used them, but I don't think he did.  I'm fairly sure they were retired after that (I'm happy to be corrected on that though).

 The Dodge Magnum XE was the last traditional rear drive intermediate Chrysler made. If you look at the profile you will recognise the sheet metal impressions of the old Charger (General Lee). In 1979 you could still option a Magnum XE with the 195 hp 360 V8, which was 10 hp more than the base Trans Am 6.6 liter of the year, and a similar engine to the one fitted to the Dodge Lil' Red Express of 1978.

 It wasn't all Corvettes and Mustangs. The connoseuir chose the fine machinery of Mr. Yenko.

 


"In 1967 Don Yenko ordered L-78 equipped SS Camaros and swapped in the Chevrolet Corvette's L-72 427 in³ (7.0 L) V8. The cars came with a 4.10 rear end and heavy-duty suspension. The exact number of cars produced is not known; most estimates are around 50. Yenko also installed a fiberglass replacement hood similar to the "Stinger" hood featured on 1967 big-block Corvettes."
