1964 Biscayne 2 door sedan for sale in Winnipeg - advertised as being a former police car


as can be seen it is pretty rough - on the for sale sign there is a note that it is a former police car

 

I dont think it is posted on Kijiji - it is on Wall st across the street from Tech Voc

It was raining when I stopped to take the pictures - i didn't bother to fight with the hood latch

 

The plain vinyl seat might be partial confirmation - my dad had a 63 Biscayne but I don't remember the upholstery being that plain

Easiest way to tell if it was a police car is if it has a certified speedometer.

It may have been in service as a police car but it may have just been a plain Biscayne without the B07 police package. It appears to be a 283 3-speed manual. Department budgets can be pretty skimpy. When my 67 was built, shortly after it came a black and white Chevelle 300 sedan with the only options being black & white paint and 7.75-14 blackwalls. It was a 230 3-spd with nothing.

Since today was sunny I drove by for another look 

 

- the speedo is not marked certified

- here is an under the hood shot

 

going by the door jambs the car was originally black

 

I agree with the previous poster that if this car was a police car it was not a specific police package model - it was probably just a low buck model put into police service 

In 1964 winnipeg was a collection of a number of districts each with a separate police dept - there were no budgets to do large scale fleet buys until amalgamation happened in the mid 70s

Any idea what the odometer reading is? I'm surprised to see an original style tower hose clamp on the upper rad hose.

it looks remarkably unmolested under the hood
