It is the first time a "pony car" was used by a police organization for regular patrol / pursuit duty in the USA (1971-1979). It was special-ordered by the Alabama Department of Public Safety for use by the State Troopers. Only 71 cars were built in 1971, and 61 in 1972 -- Last edit: 2014-10-17 00:09:29 (Sandie)

jwrADPS ◊ 2013-03-29 21:25	Tonz is correct. The camera pans from left to right and slightly upward while very close to the car, so I had to take several captures, and reassemble the car that way. I did the same for the shot of the car from the front (behind the IH SUV) which is why a remnant of the trooper's uniform remains in the top/right corner. Thanks to Walter for getting this added.
