I'm going tomorrow to look at a couple of Plymouths, a '74 and a '75. I was told the '75 is a "Police Interceptor". It is a Gran Fury. What do I need to look for on the fender tag or the VIN?

2nd digit of the VIN should be K, certified speedo, fender tag should be coded A38

Police Interceptor is a Ford. Look at the tail panel of any Crown Vic.

Something similar to this.... Possible 999 paint code on tag (or possibly some other paint code too) Low level interior K as the first character in the VON Lots of F codes

Thanks for the info. I was aware that it wasn't a "Interceptor" that is why it was in quotes. It is a word that helps people sell cars, nothing else. But, I used to drive a Gran Fury, I think a '74, that had a HP 400 in it. It was an unmarked car and nobody ever got away from me. I remember chasing a SS Chevelle one night and had to keep on the brakes to keep from running into the back of that thing. I used to think I had a 440, but I looked closer and found the 400 numbers. That thing was awesome. Idled just like the Super Bee I had at the time.

Wasn't the E86 code used in those years as well? 360, 400, and 440 were available....someone on dippy.org could answer this one for sure.

Well, I found the Plymouth and it was different. It was a Police Car. Certified speedometer to 140, had a large round dome light in the right spot. The fender tags were as follows: The first one: 999 Body In White 999 Special Mask 999 Special Paint 999 Special Order
The second tag: End N41 P39 S41 Y39 214 ?58 F88 G11 G63 H51 K57 V02 U A38 F39 F43 F49 999 E3X9 TX9 31 K09791 E86 D36 PH 41 U6D166386
The green emissions control sticker on the radiator header said "FB-440-4HP-7S Family. Engine code was 6 T 440HP 1-29 I would have put it on the trailer but the only thing on the body that didn't need replacing was the front clip. Looked like it slammed into a steel guard rail that opened it up like a can opener. Kind of hard to replace 3 doors, both quarters, trunk, extensions, gas tank, trunk. That was evident without getting underneath it. I can't figure out the special paint, as it was white. I didn't see any other color underneath it except for rust. Beside it was a '73 Duster /6, nice body, running 6 auto on the column, complete car, but the VIN plate was gone along with the fender tag. Make a nice drag car for somebody and he said he would take $500 for it.
