Condition:

*This 2007 Dodge Charger Police Edition Fleet Vehicle is equipped with the powerful 5.7 liter Hemi engine mated to the 'auto stick' 5-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle runs and drives excellent with all equipment, associated systems, and accessories functioning as designed, even the spotlight works.  The interior, though expectantly spartan and business-like,  is nice and clean (still smells new) and in very good condition with very minimal wear for the year and considering its previous owner service. The exterior is also in very good condition top to bottom with a nice glossy Stone White clear coat finish and no rust anywhere.  All glass, lights, emblems, and trim are in excellent condition with no defects. All tires are matching P225/60R/18 Firestone Firehawk GT Pursuit and have approximately 25 - 30% tread remaining.

History and Features:

*This Charger SE was built on April 4, 2007 at the Bramalea assembly plant in Canada and subsequently delivered to Beck Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Palatka, Florida where it was sold to the St. John's County Sheriff's Office in St. Augustine, Florida on May 15, 2007.  Everything on this police cruiser is heavy duty rated for severe service as documented in a list of build items that I obtained from Chrysler LLC Customer Assistance. Here is a partial listing of those build items that are believed to be 'police vehicle' specific:

 X5 HD Cloth Bucket Seats w/Vinyl Rear
AHBP Police Group
AHVP Special Service Group
BABP 160 Amp Alternator
BCFP 800 Amp Maintenance Free Battery
CKJ Black Vinyl Floor Covering
CUMP Mini Floor Console
CV8P Column Mount Automatic Shift Lever
CW6 Deactivate Rear Doors/Windows
LNF Black Left Spot Lamp
LPSS CHMS Lamp
NHAP Engine Oil Cooler
NMSP Severe Duty Engine Cooling
SBPP Performance Steering
SERP Load Leveling and Height Control
WEJP 18X7.5 Steel Wheels
WMHP Bright Hub Caps
XAXP Engine Hour Meter
XFSP Equipment Mounting Bracket

*I acquired this vehicle directly from the St. John's County Sheriff's Office at a public auction in mid-April with 90,862 miles showing on the odometer and have put approximately 700 enjoyable miles on it to date. The car is a real blast to drive and performs and handles extraordinary with the only issue being the constant illumination of the engine light. This light has been on since the day I purchased the vehicle and is really more of a minor annoyance rather than an issue as I have not noticed any effect on its performance, driveability, or reliability. A quick scan with my OBD code reader revealed the following DTC's:

P0520 Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch Circuit Malfunction (New pressure sensor costs approx.$50 )
P0481 Cooling Fan 2 Control Circuit Malfunction (Engine runs at normal temperature all the time)
P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1) (New Oxygen sensor costs approx.$75 )

*In addition to the engine light, just recently, the ABS, ESP, and BAS lights illuminated simultaneously while driving home from running an errand.  Researching this condition I have learned that the illumination of these lights together is an indication of the anti-lock brake system, electronic stability program, and brake assist system becoming deactivated. Further investigation revealed a dirty or defective abs wheel sensor(s) is the most likely source of this condition. (New abs wheel sensors cost approximately $30 ). The only noticeable effect I have experienced with this condition is the vehicle will easily spin the rear tires under 'spirited acceleration' from a stop light.

Upgrades:

*Prepping the car for civilian use required a little time and effort and included removal of the vinyl number decals on the roof, fenders, and front and rear bumper covers, installing a plastic plug in the 1" diameter drilled hole in the roof that was used for the police strobe light bar electrical lead, and touching up several minor nicks and scratches in the paint.  As you can see from the photos, I retained the vinyl stripes on the deck lid and on either side to maintain that police car appearance but these can be removed easily without damage to the paint using a hair dryer. To give the interior a more civilized look and feel, I installed a new aftermarket console on the existing equipment mounting plate and a new set of OEM carpeted floor mats from Dodge. There are several very small holes in the interior trim pieces from previously mounted police equipment. To give some identity markings to the exterior, I have added "HEMI 5.7 Liter" decals to each front fender along with a "Hemi Interceptor" emblem on the deck lid.  There are two very small drilled holes at the top of each front door opening (not visible with the doors closed) that were used to mount the strobe light bar on the roof.  Since the vehicle was missing its spare tire, I have added a very good P225/60R/18 Firestone Firehawk GT pursuit full size spare tire (without rim) in the trunk to perfectly match the other four tires on the vehicle. To enhance it's already stout performance, I modified the engine's air intake system to incorporate a cold ram air intake design. This modification was accomplished while still retaining the stock outward appearance of the system. The engine performance appears to have benefited from this modification as evidenced by an improvement of the vehicles quarter mile numbers. In factory stock form, the Charger ran a best of 14.387 seconds at 98.03 MPH, while after the modification, it improved to 13.835 seconds at 100.61 MPH, representing a full .5 second and 2-1/2 MPH improvement in 1/4 mile performance. Hence the term "Fast & Ferocious" was derived.

Extras:

*Included with this Charger are the original owner's manual with the Police Vehicle supplement in the factory case, a complete 2-page list of the 100 build codes, and an 8-1/2" x 11"  two-sided advertisement placard for the 2007 Dodge Charger Police Vehicle listing the standard and optional police equipment available from Chrysler's Fleet Operations along with all the pertinent dimensions and specifications of their police cruiser.
