I blew that one up a bit, but the quality has suffered. That Pontiac looks like a civilian Parisienne.

For the past 20 years the RCMP and other Federal Government agenciies dispose of their "retired" equipment through "Crown Assets Disposal" through a sealed bid system. this is how I purchased a 1979 Malibi 9C1 in 1983 and a 1982 Mabibu 9C1 in 1987.
In the early days cars were just traded in to a local dealer who was preping the new fleet. In St. John's in 1973 our local Ford dealer was delivering 20+ 1973 Fords and had 20+ 1971 Chevs on their used car lot. The cars were given a quick repait in white (back in those days the cars were black and later that weird shade of blue.
My cousin was in the RCMP in Sasketchewan through the late 60's and 70's,mostly in remote towns. His detachment had between 4 and 6 units. When refresh time came, in those days 2 years or 100,000 miles the old units were retured to divisional HQ for new ones.
Used cop cars were always popular with the general public.

In reference to an earlier post about Central Motors in London Ontairo, I purchased a 1970 442 W-30 last fall that spent its whole life in the London area and was sold new at Central. I got a ton of paperwork with the car that included original invoices and business cars of Wayne Huber and Don Brooks.

I knew of 2 '70 2+2 454 raggers.When I told a guy in Kansas about them,he came and bought both.What Colour are these ones being mentioned.I've heard of 454 Stratos in New Brunswick for Cop cars.Parted a couple of 454 '76 Impalas from Quebec Provincial Police also.

Here is the only photo I have of this car, a 70 2+2 with a factory 454. I've known of this car for years, and in 1991 when this photo was taken, it was freshly repainted. It had had some rust issues at that time. I last saw the car 3 years ago, but it was really down at heel with rust and the 454 was out and it had a 350 in it.

That looks a lot like a 70 Pontiac Catalina...the car I learned to drive in...


Cool pics...

[CanadianPoncho]

I just reread this thread again and it was just as cool the second time! Any more pics or info? I'm also in the beginnings of looking for a 69 Canadian Pontiac 2 door hardtop. Anything from a Strato Chief to 2+2 (big or small block). Obviously the more solid and complete the better. If you guys hear of any please drop me a line. My email is todd.st (at) rogers.com
