One-off HQ 'undercover cop car' up for sale

​Occasionally, despite our best efforts, things slip through the cracks. Rules and regulations are set in place, but when confronted by the ‘boys in blue’ you generally just do as you’re told.

This vehicle may not have existed, were it not for a lucky and persistent first owner, a traffic branch officer in the NSW Police Force. Having made numerous failed attempts to order the car through various dealerships; the original owner was almost ready to give up but thought he would give it one last try.

Believed to be the only 350cid V8 / 4-speed manual Kingswood ever built...

Straight after finishing his shift, he made his way to the W.Robinson & Son Holden dealership in Lismore. Still wearing his police uniform, the original owner placed the order and crossed his fingers. The dealership not knowing any better assumed the car was going to be used as a highway pursuit vehicle and agreed to take the order.

Price expectations may be a little adventurous around $100,000, however where are you going to find another car quite like this??
