Vehicle Description
1977 Plymouth Gran Fury Brougham FACTORY POLICE package.
This car is one of only 575 Full police packages also equipped with
the Brougham package built for the North Carolina Highway Patrol.
Broughams were one year only (1977) , of the 575 built some were
unmarked and some were the traditional Black and Silver patrol
units making this car 1 of less than 575. Of those cars very few
(if any other than this) remain today. This unit was a marked car
as evidenced by areas of the underlying paint found on the car
during restoration as well as the factory police wiring harness
found in the roof panels which powered the CJ184 Roof Light. There
is documentation with the car from NCSHP and the build sheet was
recovered and decoded.. This car has had a meticulous restoration
started by the owner prior to me who passed away. I purchased the
car as a roller from his wife. The body and paint work had been
completed (in NYSP colors, I planned on repainting it back to NCSHP
trim) and the engine /driveline were rebuilt, but the rest was up
to me.
The 440 U code "Super Commando" engine and 727 transmission are the
numbers matching originals (rebuilt) (83,337miles on odometer),
Police package coolers (Engine oil, transmission, power steering)
are all there and working properly . The car has a 9 � rear and
heavy duty front/rear sway bars, heavy duty suspension and heavy
duty cooling. I upgraded the car from Lean Burn to electronic
ignition concealed in the original Lean burn location to keep stock
appearance. The 100 amp police alternator was rebuilt as was the
power steering and the original radiator was completely redone. A
new fuel tank and sender were installed along with new lines, a new
Carb, new brakes and lines, new front suspension, new tires, new
exhaust and numerous detail parts (Marker lenses, door
sills,clips,hoses,etc). Car has power steering ,power windows
,power brakes, A/C, and rear defogger, manual locks and seats,
Driver and Passenger remote mirrors.
The Deluxe Brougham interior is highly optioned and in excellent
original condition including woodgrain accents, A/C floor vents, AM
radio, deluxe seats with arm rest and factory police package
ceiling (service) light.
Grill, deck and alternating headlamps are installed and wired and
are controlled by a temporary switch box. I also replaced every
bulb in the car right down to the glove box lamp, I refurbished as
many original parts as possible and used NOS where possible for
replacements. This is a very rare and unique documented car done
right.
