RE: My info is all mixed up.

Here may be my last thoughts/words on this...right, like I'll ever shut up? As I said I pumped a lot of Shell ethyl into '66 Washington State Patrol Fords. Never did see one with a 4 speed although I know it was optional in '66. All were automatics. All had solid lifters. All were four doors too. But I have seen one two door Custom that a guy had locally that was originally a Nebraska patrol car.

Now, last year at a local swap meet here in Spokane, a guy name Buzz Rose, owner of Al & Buss Rose Wrecking Yard & Auto Repair, Helena, Montana, was offering a very genuine '66 WA State Patrol car for a very reasonable price (I think it was $3K). It was all there and unmolested but repainted over the original Nightmist Blue. It had a sticker on the inside door jam that was placed there by the State Parol in '66. It had the 140 mph speedo, C-6 automatic with the old shift pattern(Green Dot!), C6AE Aluminum intake, 4100 Autolite, open element air cleaner as per '66 but painted Ford blue like the rest of the engine, and the very cool and very rare tall pentroof valve covers with breathers as per regular engines. These of course were to accomodate the adjustable rockers. By '67 the Power by Ford became the standard. So I figure the tall pentroof covers with breathers were a 1966 only thing.

Buzz fired the car up for us and it had the wonderful sound of solid lifers clattering away. And it idled very nicely. Great car. If it had been a two door.......

He may still have it! Buzz: (406)458-5524
