1988 Dodge Diplomat AHB Police Package Texas DPS Highway Patrol unit D8-367

1988 Dodge Diplomat Description

Up for auction is my retired Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol unit D8-367. The car is a genuine Diplomat M-Body AHB police package from Dodge. Heavy duty everything, 318 4 barrel carburetor, automatic transmission, Certified Speedometer, 5 vented police rims and 4 vented police hubcaps pictured are included. The car does have a new replacement windshield and replacement muffler installed. The winning bidder will also receive a trunk full of spare parts that were gathered and purchased for this project. Dual Unity S-6 spotlights from the factory both work. The DPS inventory tags are still visible in the door jamb and the glove box holds even more documentation proving this car's history as first owned by Texas DPS and being the unit number listed. The original black and white paint is visible through the peeling blue paint. DPS used to paint the cars with a quickie paint job before they were auctioned. They would pick a color that matched or sort of matched the interior color. They did this for resale value and also, I expect they did not want a bunch of retired black and white patrol Ford LTD's, SSP Mustangs, Chevrolet Caprice 9C1's running up and down the roads being mistaken for current issue cars. I am a former Texas DPS employee and current police car enthusiast. I am currently restoring another Texas DPS unit so I am somewhat familiar with these cars. If you have genuine interest in buying this car, please reach out and ask any questions. I will not ship or drive the car to you and I sell it "As Is, Where Is". Located in North Texas, approximately 35 miles northwest of Texas Motor Speedway.
