    it's probably not that original but i still like it. do you think it would look good if i got my 76 maverick 4-door painted like the general lee(off the show "dukes of hazzard" if you don't know). i was also thinking about the horn from it too

    Theres one posted on this site from craigs list right now. Have a look and see what you think. Looks a bit strange to me.
    I like Mavmans idea. You could do a black and white cop thing with big wide steelie wheels all the way round. Suspension upgrades. Nice and low and stiff with a front and rear sway bar kit,4 wheel discs. Make it a pursuit car.

    actually i kinda like the cop car idea better. and since they actually made maverick police cars i could turn it into a replica. i'm still gonna get the general's horn though, i love that horn

    The second car was not an original police car. I bought it from Doug Bauer who used it as a daily driver. I then sold it to the guy who turned it into a cop car. The first one was a Baltimore police car.
