1986 Wyoming Highway Patrol Crown Victoria Ltd Antique Police Car on 2040-cars

GENUINE WYOMING HIGHWAY PATROL POLICE CAR FOR SALE

THIS IS THE REAL DEAL, A LOW MILEAGE AUTHENTIC ANTIQUE POLICE CAR WITH EXCELLENT PROVENANCE.  JUST TWO OWNERS SINCE RETIREMENT, RESTORED WITH THE STATE'S KNOWLEDGE AND APPROVAL TWENTY YEARS AGO.  THE EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT IS 50 STATE COMPLIANT AND THE MARKINGS ARE OBSOLETE AND DO NOT REPRESENT ANY AGENCY CURRENTLY IN SERVICE ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES.  IT IS AN ANTIQUE COLLECTOR VEHICLE, TITLED, TAGED AND INSURED AS SUCH. 

VINTAGE POLICE CARS HAVE BECOME QUITE POPULAR IN THE UNITED STATES AND OVERSEAS, BUT BECAUSE OF THIER SEVERE SERVICE AND USE BY THE MOVIE INDUSTRY AND TAXI CAB COMPANIES, A SCANT FEW ORIGINALS REMAIN.  OF THOSE, MANY MORE WERE LOST FOREVER TO THE FAILED "CASH FOR CLUNKERS" PROGRAM. TV AND MOVIE STUDIOS HAVE HAD TO USE "CLONED" FOUR DOOR SEDANS AND THE COLLECTOR HOBBY OFTEN HAS HAD TO RELY ON REPLICAS.  THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A BONA FIDE POLICE CAR, WEARING THE MARKINGS AND EQUIPMENT THAT IT DID WHEN IT PROUDLY SERVED. A BONUS IS THE ORIGINAL (NEVER WRECKED) BODY AND NUMBERS MATCHING DRIVELINE. 

HISTORY 

THIS WAS UNIT 169 FROM THE CHEYENNE OFFICE, DRIVEN BY A SERGEANT.  IT WAS SOLD IN 1989 WITH 90,000 MILES. 

THE SECOND OWNER USED IT AS A DAILY DRIVER FROM 1989 TO 1994, ADDING A VINYL TOP, LATE MODEL STEREO, DASH COVER, HIDDEN CLASS TWO HITCH  AND FLOWMASTER MUFFLERS.  IT ALSO RECEIVED NEW BLACK PAINT AND WINDSHIELD AND WAS GARAGED AND NEVER DRIVEN IN THE WINTER. 

IN 1984 THE TOP WAS REPAINTED WHITE AND THE FORD WAS RESTORED BACK TO ORIGINAL USING DECALS & ANTENNAS FROM THE STATE, CORRECT VINTAGE EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT AND WAS STORED UNTIL 1996 WHEN IT WENT ON PERMANENT DISPLAY IN A POLICE MUSEUM WHERE IT REMAINED UNTIL 2002.  FROM 2002 TO 2012 IT LIVED IN CLIMATE CONTROL, DRIVEN OCCASSIONALLY IN PARADES AND DISPLAYED AT POLICE SHOWS. 

IN 2012 IT WAS SOLD TO SECOND OWNER WHO ALSO GARAGED IT AND ADDED LATE MODEL CVPI 16" RIMS, HUBCAPS, STAINLESS STEEL TRIM RINGS AND NEW NEXEN DIRECTIONAL RADIALS.  SINCE RETIREMENT IN 1989 IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN 38,722 MILES OR A LITTLE OVER 1500 MILES A YEAR IN 25 YEARS.

CONDITION 

EXTERIOR  THE CAR HAS ACCUMULATED A COUPLE DOOR DINGS AS YOU WOULD EXPECT WITH A 28 YEAR OLD CAR, BUT THE ORIGNINAL BUMPERS HAVE NEVER BEEN RE-PLATED AND STILL SHINE LIKE NEW.  DITTO FOR THE GRILLE AND WHEEL WELL MOLDINGS.  ALL THE GLASS IS PERFECT.  THE HEADLIGHTS AND ALL PLASTIC FRONT LENSES AND TAILIGHTS ARE PERFECT.  IT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL FRONT LICENSE BRACKET. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RUST WHATSOEVER, TOP, BOTTOM, ANYWHERE, A TRIBUTE TO THE TLC IT HAS ALWAYS ENJOYED AND THE FACT IT HAS LIVED IN ARKANSAS, WHERE SALT IS ONLY USED TO FLAVOR FOOD.

INTERIOR  THE VINYL 60/40 SEATS HAVE DUAL ARM RESTS AND ARE PERFECT.  THEY LOOK LIKE EXPENSIVE PLEATED LEATHER AND THE REAR SEAT MATCHES.  THE CARPETS HAVE WORN SPOTS, BUT ARE NOT WORN THRU.  THE DASH, DOOR PANELS AND HEADLINER ARE PERFECT.  ALL GAUGES, SWITCHES, LIGHTS, CRUISE CONTROL, HORN, HEATER AND RADIO WORK AND THE A/C BLOWS COLD.  IT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL (WORKING) THROTTLE CONTROL AND EVEN THE GLOVE BOX LIGHT STILL LIGHTS. THE DOME LIGHT DOES NOT WORK ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR, PER WY HP.

MECHANICAL THE DRIVELINE IS ORIGINAL.  THE ENGINE AND OVERDRIVE TRANS HAVE NEVER BEEN OPENED.  IT HAS RECEIVED REGULAR MAINTAINENCE AND PARTS REPLACED AS NEEDED, INCLUDING BATTERY, STARTER, TAIL PIPES, MASTER CYLINDER AND POWER BRAKE BOOSTER.  THE ENGINE STILL HAS THE WY HP INSTALLED FAUCET AND PLUMBING SO A TROOPER COULD GIVE GASOLINE TO A STRANDED MOTORIST (SEE PICTURE).  THE CAR DOES NOT LEAK, DRIP, SMOKE OR RATTLE.

HERE'S WHAT IT NEEDS 

THIS IS NOT A SHOW CAR, BUT IT IS CERTAINLY DRIVE-IN CRUISER AND NEIGHBORHOOD SHOW QUALITY AS IS.  TO BRING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL, AND BE COMPETITIVE,  IT NEEDS A COUPLE MINOR THINGS.  THE 25 YEAR OLD BLACK PAINT HAS HELD UP WELL, BUT COULD USE A CLAY BAR/POLISH TREATMENT AND THE DOOR DINGS REMOVED PAINTLESSLY.  THE ROOF NEEDS TO BE REPAINTED DUE TO POOR VINYL ADHESIVE REMOVAL AROUND THE EDGES.  THE TRUNK NEEDS TO BE RE-LETTERED (AND POSSIBLY RE-PAINTED-OWNER'S PREFERENCE) DUE TO MAGNETS LEFT ON TOO LONG.  MECHANICALLY IT NEEDS NOTHING OTHER THAN QUIETER MUFFLERS (OWNER'S PREFERENCE) AND MAYBE A TUNE-UP.  THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT COULD BE DETAILED. 

EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT 

PER EBAY REGULATIONS, ALL EQUIPMENT IS UNOPERABLE.  THE JETSONIC LIGHTBAR WILL BE SOLD WITH CLEAR LENSES ONLY.  THE DECK LIGHTS ARE LEGAL RED & AMBER.  THE SPOTLIGHTS ARE DISCONNECTED PER ARKANSAS STATE LAW.  THE GE RADIO AND RADAR UNIT ARE CORRECT BUT DO NOT WORK.  FOR TRANSPORT IT WILL BE SOLD WITH A LIGHTBAR COVER AND MAGNETS TO COVER THE DOOR SHELDS.  PLEASE EMAIL FOR FULL LIST OF EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS. 

TERMS 

I AM SELLING THIS CAR FOR THE CURRENT OWNER.  IT IS SOLD AS IS/WHERE IS IN NW ARKANSAS WITH NO WARRANTY.  TRANSPORT IS BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY.  THIS IS A 28 YEAR OLD ANTIQUE TAGGED POLICE CAR, SO DO NOT EXPECT IT TO BE PRISTINE.  AN INSPECTION IS ALWAYS RECCOMENDED.
