The Haltom City, Texas police department has built the first patrol car out of a new Camaro SS.

Haltom City Police commissioned Classic Chevrolet of Grapevine, Texas to build this one-of-a-kind Camaro SS police car complete with an LED bar on top, embedded bar in the rear window and our favorite piece: a blue light strip embedded behind the muscle car's devious grin.

The use of classic white-on-black screams authority, but the all-clear LED bar on the roof and lack of other markings keep it relatively subtle and stealthy. The designers were smart not to try and augment what's already a mean-looking machine.

Super cool

But they should have left it as an unmarked stealth car.
Then it would bring in the revenues. LOL

Nice!

Cool car... I live in Hurst which is close to Haltom City and I can tell you they really should be using their money for other things. The city is a dump, Crappy streets ect. Not to anger any members here that live in HC but come on.

Define "patrol" car because the Camaro will not work as a patrol car. It will work, however, as a traffic enforcement vehicle, of which San Antonio already has two. Granted, they're stealth vehicles, but it has already been explained at length how a 2-door vehicle is not ideal for use as a true "patrol" car.

It looks cool, though.

We should be staying at a hotel close to this department on the way to C5FII would be a nice photo op with all of the Camaro's in the Caravan.... Nice SS.

I didn't see the inside but if they were going to use a Camaro for a traffic control vehilcle did it REALLY did the RS package too? i don't think that is going to help with the resale value when it's auctioned off at the end of it's useful life at the station.

Silver Ice · 01-25-2011, 08:46 AM

That looks awesome

bluetooth-ss · 01-25-2011, 06:20 PM

Tampa Tuning · 01-25-2011, 06:25 PM

coolman · 01-25-2011, 06:27 PM

Wow! They even got the RS package and the polished wheels.

Orange5thGen · 01-25-2011, 06:32 PM

I'll put money on it being recked before it is ready for auction at the end of service.....
