the chrysler is one hell of an ugly car though. The 75 or zt tourer is beautiful.

I will probably have to buy the wife a new car instead...

The Police V8's as in most of their traffic and Squad cars would have been kept in excellent engine condition.
No money would have been spared on services.

Yep.. I bought an ex police Rover SD1 and the car was almost better than it left the factory, everything had been upgraded

Ok, yes the interior was a bit worn, but everything else was fine.

there was an 80s rock band called 'Thunder'...and one of their hits was...'the sound of distant Thunder'...well they got it all wrong...it wasnt the roll of distant thunder at all.... it was Tim in his MG ZT 260.
