There were approx 4 70 2+2 convert's with 454 - I know of and have talked to the owner of one in Iowa which had the 454 390 hp swapped for an LS7. I currently have a 70 2+2 convert with 400 cu inch and owned a 70 strato chief - ex RCMP pursuit car with 454. I sold car when I was 18 and vehicle history ended 4 years later at a scrap yard in about 1979. Car had 345 hp with dual chrome exhaust tips put on by the RCMP. Wish I could find that car again. Also would be interested in knowing of anyone has seen or heard of any other 70 2+2's with the 400 - I have never seen in a convert. Also would like to tt other 70 2+2 owners.

W Bruce, Canadian Pontiacs and RCMP cars...you've sure got my attention!!!.

Was the '70 RCMP Mk1V Strato-Chief a 2 or 4 Dr. Sedan...and do you still have the Vin or any pics?.

Thanks for the great pics Colesy...keep 'em coming!

Being a RCMP vehicle the Strato Chief was a four door and yes I do have the VIN based on the MOT search that I did five years ago. It was black and later painted blue when I owned it. Car had 2.73 highway gears and you could pin the 140mph speedo. It was a great sleeper car and was pretty quick off the line as well. I am wondering of anyone knows if you can buy partial rear quarter panels for my 70 2+2 - my left rear needs replacing - thanks.

Hey Pete;
Attached is a photo a buddy of mine sent me a while back. This Sackville N.B. 67 RCMP cruiser had a 427. Any idea what province your car was from?

Looks almost like my car, different color though. Apparently my 67 427 biscayne was a Saskatchewan cop car??? Wonder what happened to the 67 in that pic??? 2qwik2c.

W Colsey, your photo archives always impress me...you've simply outdone yourself again!.

Like 2Qwik's car, mine came out of Saskatchewan too but who knows how far and wide they ever passed the cars around?.
The car in the pic appears to be morphing from an unmarked to marked unit just like mine did...my car finally ending up w/ the door skins and roof painted white...not doorframes or B-pillers..
That same gumball and spotlight were added to mine too...the body holes still there and both items were in the trunk plus the cop radio and an old whip antennea base piece..
Also the pic car has the dog-caps so can only be a drum car too...hmmmmm, all very interesting?.

Looking at the '65 Poncho sedan beside the Biscayne, it's got the white roof happening but appears to have B-piller chrome so would a Strato Chief be out and maybe a Parisienne or Laurentian...sure wonder what drivetrain it was too?.

Thanks Colesy and keep'em coming...shake that magic photo box a few more times!.
