  • Calling all cars, calling all cars, be on the lookout for Mark Weiss in his gnarly cool retired California Highway Patrol Car! This is a 1972 Dodge Polara C-Body Mopar that ran the highways of California for the Police department for many years. This is a true ex CHP pursuit car with the big 440 V8. I ran into Mark during the 2019 Adirondack Nationals, on the weekend of September 5th, 2019. Check it out and I hope you enjoy the scenic footage of Lake George Village and various Muscle Cars, Mopars and others. Thanks for your Like, Share, and Subscription to the Samspace81 classic car channel.

    Love these Police Polaras. Saw a number of ghost (white) versions rumbling behind me back in the day. Struck fear every time.

    In 1972 I got my license. I was sitting at a light when a CHP Polara rumbled up next to me in the next lane. I think it had the 440 and I clearly heard a cam upgrade. It loped and shook at the light and the hood was vibrating. They had to upgrade the patrol cars to keep up with the muscle cars of the era. Fun times, unless he was behind you. :)

      My first car was 74 javelin. 401. 4 speed. I never raced the cops. Not worth the usual outcome

    In Florida, these cars with the U code 440 engine had a dual-inlet (snorkel) orange air cleaner. My neighbor's dad was an FHP sergeant and drove a couple different 72 Polara's just like this.

    I was driving home from LI in an '82 Plymouth Champ.I hadn't put my inspection sticker on, but I had it. Went through the toll booth at the Throgs Neck Bridge, and passed a brown 4-door MoPar with two TBTA cops in it about 100 feet after. I was just getting into 3rd gear when my rear view mirror was full of that MoPar. They'd caught up to me in less than a 1/4 mile.

    My cousin was being chased b an Okla. HWP just like this one, in 1972. While giving him a tour of the dirt roads in Grady Co. Okla. The HWP lost it and rolled. My cousin had to buy the car. $5000 was the price back in the day. Today it's closer to $105,000...

      I wish he could have gotten a copy of the window sticker and build sheet. Or the fender tag. I don't remember ANY CHP with factory A/C though.
