1992 - B4C 1LE actual "CHP" police car

I'm always looking for that deal, the possible "next" car, and I come across a lot that I think are darn nice, but don't post up for each and every one. This one is one I'd love to have. Too rich for my blood, but I'm not getting into what it IS or is NOT worth. Just saying it's a cool car!!! Love to see this one stick around!

I'd almost pay that except..."the special high performance overdrive"?... Isn't that a $30 part from B&M? Did GM ever put the full throttle upshift valve in? I'm not a b4c aficionado, that's why I'm asking... Nice collector car tho!

Great documented history on that B4C. Agreed on a nice collector car. Have seen if for sale on CL off and on for over the past year or so. Still waiting for the right buyer I guess!

Re: 1992 - B4C 1LE actual "CHP" police car

Off topic slightly, but what alternator is on this car? I haven't seen that adapter before.

IIRC, CS144 with a Cadillac adapter bracket.

I am pretty sure someone on this site sold this car, and then someone on this site bought this car. I swear I saw a thread on it.

It was used on special/hd service vehicles that use the same serp setup as F-cars, taxis and police cars (caprice is where I see a lot of them).
There was also a green silicone hd hose option that was used on the caprice (special service package or what ever it was called)

The guys ad says he didn't list it locally so tire kickers wouldn't bother him, which I totally understand.

If someone is serious and wants me to look at the car for them after they have arranged it with the seller, I'll do that.

Yeah there was a thread on it somewhere. Prior to restoration, that poor car looked terrible... looks great now though, it came out nice.

TTOP350 and Drew, thanks for the info on the alternator I may have to look into doing something like that.
