The Calif. Highway Patrol has several car lots where they sell the ex-CHP cars, bikes, etc. Not sure how it works now but it used to be a daily closed bid process. You had to submit your bid, in person, by a certain time of the day. At the end of the day they would go through the bids and highest bidder on each vehicle won.

All of the black and whites were repainted one solid color, usually black so that you couldn't drive around in CHP colors. I went to their lot in Torrance several times looking for a Mustang when they had them.

if the FHP was going to buy a Challenger to chase down speeders, I wonder why they didn't spend a few more dollars and get a Scat Pack. That extra 100 hp comes in handy....sometimes....
Little known fact : ALL current CHP Chargers are V-6.

One of the FHP Challengers is in the Jacksonville area. The photo op here is the Fort at St Augustine.
And apparently, Texas has them too. 😂 dodge-challenger_100708843.jpg 983c2a57ca4a15c06b073f74d8d3ee59.jpg

So a V6 TAXI is all they need to catch speeders:LOL:
