Surprised that one of these specially equipped, heavy duty performance cars would be available new, from a dealership, to John Q. Public! Were you still a police officer when you bought it? And if you were, was that why it was available to you? Features wise, how did it compare to the Mercury Marauder model of about the same vintage? I believe the Marauder was equipped much like the Interceptor. The Marauder had a 302 V-8 twin OHC engine in it, and it was built in St. Thomas, Ontario. I think some FWD models of the Ford used by police were equipped like an SHO (Special High Output) which I think had a high performance Japanese V-6 (was it Yamaha?) in them. That was likely before the era of your Interceptor. I bet she goes when you mat the pedal! How would it do if it had wings on it?
Midlife crisis. needed a convertible and all the cash had gone on watches.

Still hard for me to imagine it's 17 years old now, 330ci 5MT M-Sport, it just doesn't feel old or slow driving it yet. When it's freshly washed and waxed I still have girls tell me what a beautiful new BMW it is not knowing that it's only a couple of years younger than they are.
Daily driver as there realy is no need for a car in the inner city of Frankfurt
But then when the sun comes out there is this for the weekends:
1959 MGA 1500 Roadster, my pride and joy ...
Currently still in winter hibernation ...
And in its natural habitat:
Cheers,
Max
Ps: Some sweet rides in this thread!
RS6, although currently in bits at Audi due to an oil leak that they can't seem to fix
I hope it's under warranty. Audi service cost here in Oz are eye watering.
