If you are serious about buying quality at a reasonable price, you are in the right place. Welcome to Thee Cop Shop® Buying and selling Government surplus vehicles and equipment since 1992. Licensed Florida Motor Vehicle Dealer.

 

This is one of thee most complete and comprehensive listings you will come across here on eBay. There is a lot to read here. We have nothing to hide. We do not sell vehicles that have: Storm damage, Flood damage, Fire damage, Total loss, or any kind of salvage history.

 

Each car we sell is: Visually inspected, Mechanically inspected, Checked online by Autocheck, and road tested. Any repairs needed will be done correctly by our ASE Certified Master Auto Technician parts either from Ford or NAPA. Which is vastly different from the average dealer. Most used car dealers buy rough beat up cars and spend all of their time buffing paint, slathering armor all over everything and fixing nothing. We do just the opposite. We start with a clean car in good mechanical condition. Then repair any deficiencies and clean the car. There is a difference!

 

I have seen several of the Caprice PPV’s surface here on ebay. Most are wrecked and rebuilt. Others were most likely demonstrator mules that were probably flogged to near death at the test track. I have been doing this for a long time. The caprice ppv is the most expensive police car for departments to buy. They are very reliable cars and require very little but routine maintenance. I don’t know any department out there that has the funding to sell Caprice PPV’s off with 10,20 or 30K miles. Am I the only one that thinks that something doesn’t add up when you see them for sale...

This car was sold when it reached 100K. No wrecks, Original paint and body, No mechanical problems and no special stories.

 

This car looks, runs and drives very well. There are no known problems with this car.

 

Do not copy this listing to use as your own. Doing so is not only is plagiarism, But also against eBay rules regulations.

 

This vehicle was previously used as a one officer assigned Highway Patrol take home car.

?      We only buy cars that are clean and well cared for.

?      We do not buff, compound, or wet sand any cars that we sell.

 

When you see other sellers describing how they had to "Aggressively Recondition the car" by buffing the paint, steam cleaning the engine and interior, as well as spraying armor all on everything… You know that the car they started with was not in good condition or cared for by who drove it.

Besides do you really want your car's interior, rubber floor and spare tire dripping with dressing? YUCK!

Compare my cars to others like it on ebay. You will see that I not only have a better product at a better price, But also one that you will be proud to own!

This car is, for a lack of a better term, Just clean!

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.

Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
