Nice find!!

When I was a teenager my dad had a stock, dark green GT 1600 with tan interior. The car was mint and handled great, at least from the passenger seat. It was slated to be my first car. Unfortunately, at the time, I was into 90s vw gti's and mustangs, so he decided to sell it.

Later on I learned that the weight saving, steering feedback, etc was intentionally built into it from the factory. Awesome!

I was a dumbass there & would love to find one now to restore.

huh...I was wondering for a second if that was the same British car company Austin...then i saw the hood ornament. Makes sense they made trucks too, just dont think I have ever seen one, neat.

Some serious patina on that thing.

I have a soft spot for lowered 2 wheel drive, two door, short bed pick ups... Built one in highschool... 88 S10.. Dropped 5.5" front, 7" in the back with C-notched frame and Centerline wheels. Loved that little truck

Do you know how to break a 911? Drive it into a Wall.

Do you know how to break a Land Rover Defender? Just Wait.

I got a new toy today at work. The equipment installer must have hired Helen Keller because the install sucks. Redoing a few things at DPW because I can't refuse delivery on this one.

Four years to go...this might be my last new patrol vehicle!

Nice. These PPV's have the all wheel drive with the 5.7, right?

From what I read it was in a junkyard awaiting demolition and someone saved it to use in a movie.
I think by now it has been semi restored

Yep. AWD and Hemi. It sounds really, really nice for a patrol car. They are usually really quiet. I figured out how to shut off the DRLs today so I can be sneaky. The DRLs were very bright. I had to rip across town today for a call and it moves out and handles well.

Early 70s Holden Torano GTR XU-1. I saw two from the tour bus, a purple one and green driving together. First thought they were Nissan GTRs but think they called them skylines.

Nice. Dodge doesn't make an AWD RT model in the production, non PPV lineup anymore. Does it have the 8 speed too?
I'm considering a charger for my next car.

Not sure if cool or poor; guy that got in the car looked like he races UCI across from Brooklyn
