I recall an AMC Madador also.

Our local PD bought some but they didn't stay in the fleet very long.

ive heard rumors over the years that the amc cop cars were mostly all ordered/delivered with Manual steering?
it was reported that most officers didnt like the matador Because of that as well...?
can you lend any credence to that?

The episode "Who Won" has a bunch of nice cars including a green 69 Road Runner, 70 Limelite RR and a couple of 64 Plymouth's, one with fenderwell headers. Shot at Lions Drag Strip.

Another great episode is a ring of girls stealing cars a bunch of nice stuff in it including a Javelin and a Red 70 Challenger R/T Convertible.

At the time I had no connections to the department so I never heard why they rejected them.

I saw one episode where they were chasing the GTO from two lane blacktop. In another episode two young kids were breaking into a warehouse, and they were driving the 55 Chevy from the movie as well.
