1966 Biscayne POLICE CAR

[TAR6569]

If it was a L72 police car, it must have been 1969. Just heard of a 66 Impala SS vert L72 built at Oshawa. That's the first L72 car I know of that was built in Canada. In 69, it appears all L72's sold in Canada were built here in the states.

I seen a CDN built L72 66 SS convertible 10 plus years ago. The guy said it was one of 8 built in Canada, never seen the docs though so its just word. 1966 was the only year the L72 was available in CDN built cars.

Thanks Bruce and yep, that's one of the posts w/ the '68 L72-Spds Joe mentioned.
He posted about the cars a few times also other MK1V cop cars plus emailed me some pics back then but I'm not sure if the shots of the L72 car were included w/ what he laid out here or not...I'll look through what I may still have of what he sent me?
Either way I trust the source and Joe just the greatest guy but like others here, I lost contact too so don't know what happened to him or his and his brother's or their friends cars?
Back to the subject, I'm not aware of any existing '66 L72 Police cars but if looking, lots of cool Canadian W-motor and MK1V cop cars were produced through the 60's...including Canadian Pontiacs too!

Pete, I talked with Joe via email a few months ago. He seems to be doing OK, his brother still has all his cars still.

This one apparently has the docs. We'll see

Let us know if you find out about the docs!
