Has anyone from the newsgroup actually looked at the F3 body Police Car that is
on eBay right now?:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2457159329

Seller indicates "NO rust through", but it is also a PA car. Seems like an
on-site inspection is warranted.

What do you think, Ray........up for a trip?

Aren't police cars usually 4-doors? How are you going to get the "bad guy" into
the back seat?     Studecom

It is (was) not uncommon for "traffic units" to be two doors.  Our
Interstate troopers have been driving Mustangs and Camaros for years now.
City traffic units seldom handle other calls, and then usually only as
back-ups.  Likewise, if they encounter a need to transport prisoners, the
prisoners would be transferred in the front seat of the traffic car, or by a
four door patrol unit.

Remember, police cars have not always been equipped with prisoner
containment modules.  When I started, we had four door cars, but prisoners
were transported in the front seat.  There were no shields, and it was
better to put them beside you than to have them in the back seat, and run
the risk of getting your head kicked off.

The unit in question, if authentic, might be unusual, but certainly not
impossible.

I am not seeing any of my answers. Earlier I posted that NY City always had 2
door Police cars.

Cut me some slack here now. A PCM?

Our locals use them, basically the rear seat area is a cage with plastic
seats and lined floors. Makes it easy to hose out as most rear seat
"passengers" are either drunk or drugged up.

Yep, I saw it Bill, and I replied that places in the vast Yew Norker
vacation and retirement area outside of Yew Nork Shitty, (sometimes referred
to as the rest of America), may not have done it exactly the same way. <GG>

  Fredonia is a regular "Hooterville", if even that big!  The nearest
regular "town" is Greenville.  They are in northwest Pennsylvania.
North of I-80 exit 2 ("Mercer"), you could get there by either taking
US 19, then PA 58 north to Greenville then right on Fredonia Road, or
US 19 straight north through Mercer then left as you get near
Fredonia.  Exact directions to the place, which I have heard about, I
can't deliver.  I'm originally from Greenville so know the general
area pretty well.
