Do I see exhaust dumps out the side? Looks like we have a hot rodding cop down there.

I wouldn't doubt the 500 cube thing for not narry one minute. Cops make some of the best hot rodders there are. That thing is cool......but the scoops would look better turned the right way.

Interesting take on the backwards hood scoops.

Look a little closer. You can see them on both sides. We used those back in the day to dump exhaust out before the mufflers when we raced.

Ok Dave you have used up 15 min of my time looking at police cars.
But it brought up a good memory of going to Talladaga in 1974 or 1975.
I saw one of these cop cars in action(not me). Fast and impressive.

Those 401's were bad fast. Cop friend of mine took me for a ride in his Ambassador once. It would pin you to the seat.
