Bullet ridden 1975 Plymouth Fury CA highway patrol car

It's a model built before catalytic converters so it will run good on regular gas.

Converters were required in 1975 and beyond. So no leaded fuel. Not that we didn’t gut them and switch. I remember doing it on my folks 77 Town Car. That’s why Dodge and Ford came up with the D and F 150’s. They upped the gvw on the 100’s to avoid them. That was changed in 79. That’s how they were able to produce the LRE in 78, with no converters and the 79, had them. Only trucks over 10,000 lbs. gvw didn’t have them. My 85 D350 crew cab didn’t have them.
 
That's a lot of holes, I managed to get one next to the "D" on a 72 Ford hood. The 68 Polaras/440 were very good, the shops did nice tune ups on the 75 Catalinas/455, the 78 Furys/440 were a POS with their little air cleaner computers, felt worn out after a 10 hour shift, what a let-down after the Catalinas.
 
The California Highway Patrol used the 1975 and 1976 Dodge Coronet sedan (B body with 1 round headlight per side).

Dodge changed the name from Coronet to Monaco (B body with 2 rectangular headlights per side) for the 1977 & 1978 model years. CHP used these too.
