[GATOR]

DynoTom's friend has finally arrived. My name is Pat.
My fetish is White Lightning(the movie).
This is why I love 71 Ford Squads.
I currently own a 71 Galaxie 500 with a 429 CJ.( Never was a squad.)
I'm the 2nd owner.
Soon DynoTom and I are going to Fl. to pickup my next 71 Ford.
It's a 71 Custom 500.
Former Lyman SC. Sherrif's car. black on black. 429 CJ.

welcome

Gotta admit........White lightning was one of my favorite Burt Reynolds films.
Even tho all the different/same cars Burt drove during the movie went from automatic to 4 speed to columm to floor shift within seconds of themselves during the racing/tearing up **** scenes.......... isn't that the one with the famous quote....."Ask him why I call him Bones?" "Cus I tell him to"....

 

[DynoTom]

Here is the 71 Ford Police car we are going down to Florida for.

Its a factory 370 hp 429 Cobra-Jet car that was a Sheriffs from South Carolina.

Its got all the working Police equipment in it yet.

Im trying to convince Gator to bring it up to Wooward 2002!

Hmmm looks cool. I sure didn't think they had CJ engines in the big cars.

Why are they selling it? I'd be suspicious it's not a trap... you don't have outstanding warrants do you?

 

[DynoTom]

Tom P, its a 71 Ford Custom P.I. car and in 71 the squads got the exact same engine as a Torino Cobras 429 Cobra-Jet would be.

The only difference would be the air cleaner sticker!

In 72 the Police cars used a different variation of the Cobra-Jet,the had smaller port heads and lower compression.

Gator has a nice collection of full size Ford and Mercury Police cars.

Here are the other ones he ownes.

1.1971 Galaxie 4-door 429 C.J. (never a squad)
2.1974 Mercury Monteray 460 P.I.(Arizona Highway Patrol)
3.1972 Ford Custom 429 P.I. (Wisconsin Highway Patrol)
4.1971 Ford Custom 429 C.J. (South Carolina Sheriffs car)

Hey uncle Pat!!!!!!!

 

[JohnnyRay]

Welcome to the board Pat!

Sounds like a really cool collection of cars you have.

Where or how did you ever find a older police car like the one you are picking up in Florida?

When are you guys heading down there to get it?

 

[GATOR]

Thanks, too every body who has welcomed me.
Johnny Ray, thanks for the coment on my
collection.
Dyno Tom found the `71 Lyman S.C. car on one of the sites with cars for sale
D.T. and I will be heading down shortly, I hope. I am still waiting on some paper work
for my lone.
I am going to be trying to sell off some of the collection, I need the space and I don`t
want too be in hock so deep!

 

[85mike]

What a score!
I remember back in 1969 and 70, the local Highway Patrol Fords had factory installed hood pins. We serviced the cars at the service station I worked at. Both the Fords and the Plymouths had certified 140mph speedo's. It would have been tough to outrun one of these cars. They had some long legs!

 

[DynoTom]

More pictures of the 71 Ford Police car,factory 429 Cobra-Jet 4 door!

 

[JohnnyRay]

Thanks a lot for the additional pics DT!

You just made me drool on my clean shirt!

 

[DynoTom]

Johnny Ray!

I dont think there is a bigger fan in the World of 71 Ford Police cars than Gator is?

I have known Gator for about 20 years now,and in all that time its been the only car he has always wanted to have.

I think I can convince him to take it to Woodward,he has to act soon in order to still get a park spot at the BSP though!

Gator,you gotta take that bad azz Police car up to Woodward!

There is only a very few park spots left,if you wait much longer they will all be gone!
