how are you alowwed to sell these? A sicko rapist guy could buy one to prey on inoccent women, this is just ridiculous, civillians just SHOULDN'T have a po-po package until after they retire the car.

Umm... there isn't much difference between the police package and a regular Charger appearance wise. You would have to add a light bar, markings, bumper etc...which you could do on a standard Charger.

so what IS the point then? (i'm just wondering, not trying to be an ass)

i am sorry if i misled anyone. these have no visual police images. the point of these cars is they have all the heavy duty equipment for cooling,braking etc. basically it's a very fast, very safe car that does not have all the frills of an r/t or srt8 charger.

how are you getting around the fact that a letter head needs to be submited?
does this look like a "normal" charger?

plus, its not an emergercy vehicle till the siren is added. lights dont mean much. although its illegal to attach them in certain colors to non emergency vehicles.
the point is that there are sicko's out there that use them for dirty deads. if youve ever stood next to one, you would know what i mean when i say its a cop car. pretty darn obvious.

it looks more like a normal charger than either of these pictured. it has no spot lights and has full wheel covers, not the black steel wheels.
i had not meant to start any issue here. i just thought someone may like the performance parts and reliability of one of these. i am sorry anyone may have had other ideas. i guess i am naive.

pwr, dont be like that, it seems to be a valid question. Is it legal to sell these?
I'm sure some folks would like the extra stuff, but want to know its legal.

i'm thinkin all yall need to get your panties out of a twist.
there are guys that get vinyl grafix and put them all over standard crown vics and pull people over with the light bar they also put on. heck, a dude even put grafix all over a camaro and masqueraded as an ems guy. just because it's a police spec car, without all the cop gear, like SCMODS or lightbars/pushbumpers/siren, then wtf you bitchin for? people will put grafix and lights over a friggen camry if they wanna rape someone, just bc it's a cop spec car, doesnt make it a cop car.
i see people driving around police interceptors without any cop gear on them all the time in houston.

People are buying those police wheels to use for winter driving or just because they like them. Other than the wheels and that spotlight (which anyone can have) I don't see a difference.
The police package has the severe cooling option (as opposed to heavy duty) plus other things along those lines.

it's just not right, cars that look like cop cars are for cops, my panites aren't in a twist..I just find this alittle frusturating, if they are actually selling the ones like gremlinsteve showed to civillians that is ridiculous..the ones with the cooling thigs, but they still look like an se with a column shifter are ok, please don't flame me, just stirring the pot.

For me, at least, its not about inpersonation, its legality. Its my understanding that only law enforcement is allowed to buy these, like the CVPI cars. Buying the used at auction is legal, but thats not what we're talking about.
If its legal, I'm cool, but I dont want to see anyone get in trouble. Suck to have to give your car back, wouldnt it.

chrysler rules state that only departments or leo personell using said vehicle for work are allowed to purchase it new. used, who cares. its a worn out pig after 4 years of city use.
rules are also in place saying that a person who is able to purchase the a29 code spec car cant just turn around and sell said car within a specific time frame and then come back and buy another. although i know of no check/balance in place for this.
there is a reason for all this. wether you see it or not.
also, has that not been part of the game? adding police car spec parts to your ride to improve the cooling/braking or engine cooling ect since hell? the mustang interceptors?
i know the police spec wheels are sought after from cars dating back to the 60's.
dodge needs to step up and add make a base run of the mill steel wheel low option car like the a29 coded cars. add the 5.7 hemi as an option and also add the 6.1 as an option. debadged as the a29 cars are and sell the hell out of em.
just not as police package cars.
any any one in my area driving a camaro or cv marked as po-po or even a newer cv unmarked gets stopped all the time. its all part of the checks and balances.
keeps you and your family safe.
anyways, im not against a plain jain car being sold to joe q, i was wondering how the seller was going to geta round the fact the letter head from the dpt needs to go up the food chain to verify the sale?
the pics were posted for referance against some ones post that the cars dont look any differant that a stock r/t or se charger.

let me add one senario if i might. i know this is all fluid and things can change like the wind but think of this.
your driving new dodge a29 code car to your local food store or even bank. you pull in and park. now not being the overly suspicious cop type (this is one of those things that most average people hate about cops) you dont notice the place is being hijacked. but they see you.
what is next. they register the car as a uc car even tho there are no light bars ect. to them, they dont care. its time to react, and they do.
one of many senarios i could come up with. i know my car is a bit more extreme that the one that has been posted for sale soon here but lets face it, they stand out in public for what they are intended for.
there are only two reasons to i considered mine.
one was for work. im tired of the cv.
two was for price. i saved a bundle.
im not mad at any one or trying to get any one in trouble, dont read into the questions. they are viable questions tho that should be answered.
whats it gonna cost and how are you getting around the letter head issue?

OH yea! say a place is getting robbed, they see you pull up in a police package and they come out and shoot you in the face when your not even thinking about it, bam your dead..all for a cooling duct...stupid..stupid

I tried to buy a police Charger, but after 2 months worth of work and not being able to get one, I gave up. I wanted one because I'm old-school and believe that less is more. Less as in less weight without all the added frills. Less as in less money without all the added frills. All I really wanted was a fairly basic Charger with a Hemi and the good stuff for hardware.
I ended up ordering a Daytona without all the option packages.

thats why i think they should market something like these to the public.

ok, now yall are just getting silly.
just because WE know it's a police spec car doesnt mean joe public does.
yes, people slow down around crown vics because cops use them.
yes, the a29 charger is police spec.
to the public, it's the new mustang
to some guy, it's a new mustang with steel wheels and friggen spotlight
it's a charger with a column shifter, no center console, better tires, better brakes, better cooling, and better electrical system.
by your arguments, it's a 'HAWT' car, and the public should not own it.
is it because it's a tougher car?
it has no siren, it has no lightbar, it's just a tooted up charger, invisibly to people that dont even know it's a charger.
AND most LE forces still use the crown vic. so a criminal seeing a white crown vic in front of a bank they are jacking would lead to the same thing. please, somebody think of the children

My thoughts exactly. The only exterior difference I see are the wheels. But like I said some are buying those wheels to put on their non-a29 Chargers for winter driving or because they like them.

are you people physco the cars look the exact same.how many people do a brake check for every grandma driving crown vic.and if you pulled up during a robbery in a SRT8 you are probably going to get shot!!!!

Never driven a crown vic, have you? Most folks brake first, then check the car closely. And with them hitting the resale blocks, its becoming quite common to see wannabes who deliberately try to make the car look like a cop car.
Hanging dark clothing in the right rear passenger side, placing small boxes on either side of the 3rd brake light on the package shelf, antennas wihtout radios, etc.
In any case, its not the possibility of impersonaters that bothers me, just the fact that someone is commiting at a maximum fraud, at least breach of contract. Departements get those cars at a special price, and agree not to resell them.

they agree not to sell them forever? my old department buys them and auctions them off every three years. i would have to assume if they were violating a rule then the car manufacturer would either
1) stop selling the department cars
2) if they wont enforce the rule, drop the rule.

I'm sure the contract stipulates how long after purchase they cant resell them.
