Re: 87 iroc z police interceptor

Let's see some pics. Also a pic of the SPID, (RPO sticker in the console), would help. The magic number would be B4C.

I edited your previous post by adding a link to your album. However, there is no SPID sticker there as was requested to tell a lot more information. If you can't upload it for whatever reason, email me jt@thirdgen.org and I'll upload it for you.

Re: 87 iroc z police interceptor

Looks like a nice '87 IROC-Z. The "Police Interceptor" badge looks like it came off of a Crown Vic.

Re: 87 iroc z police interceptor

I'm just going to come out and say that this was never a cop car, unless it was confiscated in a drug bust and pressed into service. The Ford badge is one clue, the fact that cop cars don't have T-tops is another.

Re: 87 iroc z police interceptor

I thought the t tops were a dead give away also thanks for the help I plan on getting it painted and didn't want to throw out the badge and find out it really was an interceptor. Besides the t tops I think it has every option besides leather and disc breaks

Re: 87 iroc z police interceptor

The B4C RPO on a Camaro didn't come into existence until the 1991 Model Year. Since you said it's an 87, it will not have that RPO code.

That is definitely a Crown Vic badge.

Re: 87 iroc z police interceptor

Looks like somebody just added a Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor badge to the back of the IROC.

Were any thirdgens used in police fleets or for government use before B4C? I've seen police use odd cars from time to time that aren't typically sold as police or fleet vehicles. I also once saw a DARE car that was a 91-92, but with t-tops and the high rise spoiler.
