Will it kill re-sale on the F6?$35,000?????Are the manual or Auto?←They get unloaded when they hit 40,000kms, I dont think that the resale value will suffer given that they have very few in numbers too.

TornadoJudd Donating Members 818 Member For: 19y 21d Posted 31/12/06 01:32 AM Share Posted 31/12/06 01:32 AM it would be a good car to buy at auction. no speed limiter, different speedo. A special low volume Typhoon? I wonder if they would be worth more than your gardern variaty 2006 Typhoon 15 years down the track ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TornadoJudd Donating Members 818 Member For: 19y 21d Posted 31/12/06 05:37 AM Share Posted 31/12/06 05:37 AM police cars have their speed limiter removed and their speedo goes up in 2.5km increments, this is so they can trail you and calculate your speed accurately without a radar. All the cop cars I have worked on in Queensland have had both of these modifications done. The older falcon cop cars also had a different interior light assembly, simular to an EB/ED assembly. Base model detective cars also had lowered suspension and different shocks. I hope that can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoJudd Donating Members 818 Member For: 19y 21d Posted 31/12/06 05:42 AM Share Posted 31/12/06 05:42 AM what I was trying to get at was these cop Typhoons will be different to a Typhoon that the average Joe can buy off a dealer and could and I stress COULD be considered more desirable in years to come as they are a low volume produced POLICE CHASE TYPHOON. Some people get off on stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
