I'm really shocked that this car was sold that way and wasn't stripped of all this equipment.

As a former deputy fire chief and police officer I can say that the fleet manager screwed the pooch on that sale. Live ammunition is never to be left behind in any sale. Period. And honestly I'm kinda surprised to see a vehicle fully equipped sold to the general public. I have bought and purchased many retired police vehicles and the only way I got them equipped was to verify my employment as a fire chief and officer. Or show proof of dealer license etc.

That is an Australian made Holden Caprice sedan, of which a few thousand made it across to the USA and Canada, not to mention New Zealand, South Africa and the Middle East. Holden (GMH) ceased local production a few years ago, so don't count on any warranty or spare parts support, especially as this is a 2013 build. But surely, Chevy locally has got some spares stock. Still. a beast of a car, even without the police goodies!

Spider eggs below the hood? This car really shows off its Australian origin.

When you are connecting a battery always connect POSITIVE FIRST. This is to prevent any accidental short circuits by tools. Same thing when boosting a dead battery Positive first, then ground last on the boosting battery.

Built in Adelaide, South Australia at the Elizabeth plant in the Northern suburbs. This model is based on the Holden Caprice once sold in Australia however, as US police cars, they were the basic poverty pack models. Last Caprices rolled of the production line in 2017 and were fitted with the 6.2 liter V8 from late 2015 on wards.

Police departments saw right through this. It’s made in Australia so getting parts was tough. I mean it does look fun.

[mekhidub]

Man I really gotta buy a retired police car.

[PikaDamos]

Dude. Get yourself a prosecutor or lawyer to write a letter saying that you got it this way to avoid trouble if you get pulled over.

Bahahhahhahaha "Out with the old and in with the new" lol chris fix moment

The caprice has always been my favorite Chevy sedan. Good video man!

[QaRZ.]

Great video Rick! i've been watching for 3 years now love the videos keep up the great work

[thedullone]

they say negative first when removing battery cables. When connecting them it’s positive first. No sparks.

Before it was a caprice it was an Australian Holden Commodore VE. You might not be able to buy the civi model there, but here you can....and a whole bunch of versions. Sedans, the utes. V8 or V6, and parts are abundant. Might actually pay to try n find a wrecker here that will post stuff. Get a full list of what you need and they might just send the lot and you could potentially save a few bucks.

Yesterday I bought a 2010 Dodge Charger Pursuit at auction here in Idaho that still has all the Sheriff stuff & it's silver-grey color with the Hemi. I'll pick it up in a couple of days.

I was just watching a video about police cars and they were talking about the crown Vic and it reminded me of this channel, I haven’t watched on of your videos in years,

[billy]

In my 24 year career, this was my favorite cruiser of all time.
Mine was unmarked, however.
The best way to describe this car is a four door corvette.

[drkousouli]

What a wonderful find/purchase. The only thing missing was a nail-clipper and filer, but other than that amazing! :)

I own a 2014 Statesman CapriceV. Here in Australia, you can get parts everywhere for this car. It's not hard to find. Your model locally is known as A Holden Statesman WM model in Australia. If you need help trying to source parts, just let me know and I would be happy to look locally for you and put you in contact with the right people. Holden spare parts are also available through Holden, depending on what it is. Just a tip also, mine was running engine light and we couldn't work it out. Then realized the fuel was the issue. Since running mine on 98 octanes, no engine light and it's now been 2 years.

I remember when Holden got the contract to import the stateman to the USA for the police department. It was all over the news before they shut holden down on Oct 2017 and no more locally made vehicles. Everything rebranded to Chevy or GMH.

Australian Police here decided on the Chrysler SRT, BMW 530d, Kia Stinger and the BMW X5.

Rick? I'm searching for old junk out of LAPD vehicles, such as ticketbooks, blanco speeding tickets, a neon yellow police traffic vest and all the stuff that usually ends up in the trashcan. I collect LAPD items, but here Germany, it's hard to find such things.
