I remember when the New York State Police had a fourth-gen Chevrolet Camaro as one of its cars patroling the Southern State Parkway.

No, but I remember when California Highway Patrol used Ford Mustangs.

No, but Virginia State Police used 1985-1986 Monte Carlo SSs along with a confiscated 280zx turbo and either a 1982 or 1984 Corvette on I-95 back in the day.  I know the 82 and 84 vettes were totally different cars, but it was a long time ago when I passed him while he was on the shoulder writing a ticket...

FL had some 1980-81 Turbo Trans Ams as well.

From what I heard, this was a property seizure back in the day. They painted it up with the livery and usually roll it out for special occasions/car shows/community outreach stuff. I have seen it a few times prowling around the back roads near my hometown.
