[quote]My favourite cop cars were the 351 cid XD and XE Falcon 'Interceptors' that roamed our highways in the late 1970s and early '80s. They were the early years of driving for me, so just the sight of one of those low slung 5.8 litre Fords with all the lights, sirens and throbbing exhausts would send a shiver down my spine. The cops had real respect in those days and few law breakers would try to outrun one of those thumping V8 Fords. They were seriously fast, with some tweaked for 140 mph (220 km/h) plus performance. And they were highly sought after at the ex-government vehicle auctions, for obvious reasons![/quote] . . . . . . & I own one. An ex NSW unmarked XE 351 4spd Falcon GL which has no air conditioning & no power steering . . . . . . even the Police had to order the luxury items back in those days !!
