It has the 91C Police package.
***********************************
The police package was always 9C1 for Chevy ,, Ford Crown Vic is P71 ... I don’t know what the worst car was but the best was the 1975-1979 Chevy Nova 9C1 ... 350/turbo400/12bolt/hot suspension/Caprice brakes and great looks...

AAaahhh...Pintos....I tell ya. I have a pic that’s an over head shot of a house my hubby and I lived in on the Snoqualmie River (Washington State) back in the eighties. At the time, we had a Pinto graveyard, and I was driving a
Pinto station wagon! The shot shows not only his 68 Camaro, and his 64 snub nosed Chevy van, but also FOUR other Pinto hatchbacks, and my stationwagon.

Roflol, i don't care what you defend, and i did not compare anything i ask you if you had owned a pinto, you said yes so, we all know you now as the pinto man, go change your screen name.

We should also note that nearly every car or truck made today is safer...than anything on the road even as recently as 15 years ago. My sister-in-law was just involved in a rear end collision in a Ford Focus. The back seat is designed to crumble and fall backwards. Had anyone been in the back (like kids) they would have been killed. As it was, my sister-in-law needed months of therapy.
I don't believe these cars are "safer" then they were 15 years ago. They have sacrificed safety at the expense of efficiency.

The quintessential American muscle car.Yep! And, the '69 Z28 with the 302 with numbers matching, in superb condition, is going for hundreds of thousands of dollars!

I'm so glad those taxpayer billions
invested lost have really helped GM recover and build great autos.
GM failed for a reason and that's still with the company. Who would build Obama's 8 mpg stretch limos tanks or the "green economy" darling Volt?
It's disappointing but reality often is. There's no reason we must have "the Big Three" automakers. Detroit's heyday is long gone. Obama's Treasury Dept clearly has no faith in GM or it wouldn't be selling stock for billions in losses.

The domestics all did quite well when they had no competition and where the only game in town. Once they had to start competing with the Japanese their cars where revealed for the garbage that they truly where. Those early Japanese cars weren’t so hot either, but they where Swiss watches compared to the domestic junk. Sorry, I love those old classics, especially muscle cars, but they where not well made cars.

I nominate Forbes as one of the worst magazines on the news rack or anywhere else. They only seem to do lists and little else. There articles are among the very worst written. And Hannah Elliot is one of the worst people around writing about cars. I've read her articles and the doesn't have a clue to what she's talking about. The woman doesn't know cars.
This list makes me furious because it hits a little close to home. I own a 2002 Dodge Dakota with 137,000 miles on it and have had NO problems whatsoever. I have a friend with a Town and Country Van hand he loves it. I think he's got about 30,000 miles and zero problem.
If Forbes is getting their information from Consumer Reports, they are even dumber than I though. For Yahoo, it SOP to be stupid and present stupid articles. I don't expect any more from Yahoo.

However this one is spot on in accuracy, if not originality. American cars have been junk all of my life and I’m old.
To: Baynative
That all right, the big tall guy on top gear got in a little car in Britain and drove it down the hall ways where they work, funny as hell. Look on youtube top gear worlds smallest car.
To: Neidermeyer
last real car I owned... the rest have been trucks.

See how low your expectations of American cars are? They’re supposed to be like that!
