This is a striking 1986 Ford Taurus LX OCP patrol car replica. After the filming of the 2nd film a Hollywood stuntman decided he was going to recreate this iconic vehicle. After shedding blood sweat and tears he finally had his dream realized before his very eyes. In fact the vehicle was so good that they decided to use it as a promotional vehicle for the second film. All his hard work can be seen in the little details like the stealth flat black paint and the prisoner cage he had installed. It also includes an arsenal of weapons (all of which are airsoft and are emblazoned with an orange barrel plug in compliance with eBay rules.) OCP Police decals (magnetic so that you won’t have trouble with the real police) and markings and for the cherry on top he even installed a working vintage police computer and speed radar gun! It even includes a cover for the roof lights when combined with the removable decals it makes it perfectly street legal. It includes clean & clear California title. All that is missing is a person to drive it… or at least “Part person. Part driver. All fan.” The vehicle is currently located in the Branson Auto Museum in Branson Missouri. We encourage any perspective buyers to come have a look. Note to eBay: This vehicle is a movie prop intended for car shows and promotions only. It is not a decommissioned emergency vehicle. The car and the lights are at least 25 years old classifying them as antique. This model car is outdated and is not in current use by any law enforcement municipality. The car includes an “out of service” cover for the light bar and the fictional OCP door shields are magnetic and therefore removable making it street legal in any state. CONDITION: The car is in good condition for being 24 years old. Brakes, Tires, Paint & Interior are all good. The car runs but will probably require some attention as it has been sitting in a museum for the last few years. Being a Ford Taurus parts are readily available and cheap. The previous owner installed a brand new AC compressor though I have never gotten the AC to work. The engine runs a little rough and might require a tune up or further attention. HISTORY: The first-generation Taurus was a milestone design for Ford and the entire American automotive industry, as well as a very influential vehicle that brought many new features and innovations to the marketplace.It was launched in 1985 as a 1986 model to strong fanfare and sales, replacing the slow-selling mid-size Ford LTD.(The full-size Ford LTD Crown Victoria remained as part of the Ford line up.) The release of the Ford Taurus was the one of the most anticipated ever, mostly because it was a first in car design and also it was the start of new quality standard for Ford. Upon the Taurus' debut, Ford was producing a range of rear-wheel drive cars, as Chrysler and General Motors offered more front-wheel drive vehicles. With the introduction of the Escort and Tempo, Ford had started its own transition to front-wheel drive. The Taurus displayed a rounder shape than its contemporaries, often likened to a 'jelly bean' or 'flying potato inspired by the design of the Audi 5000 and Ford's own Tempo. The aerodynamic design of the Taurus also made the car more fuel efficient, allowing Ford to meet the more stringent corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standard applied by the United States government.The Taurus' success ultimately led to an American automobile design revolution; Chrysler and General Motors developed aerodynamic cars in order to capitalize on the Taurus' success. The first generation was available with either a V6 or an inline four-cylinder engine, and came with either a manual or automatic transmission. (The Taurus' twin, the Mercury Sable, has never offered a manual transmission in either of its incarnations.) Along with the exterior of the Taurus, its interior was ahead of its time, and many features originating from it are still used in most cars today. The interior was designed to be extremely user friendly, with all of its controls designed to be recognizable by touch, allowing drivers to operate them without taking their eyes off the road. For example, the switches to the power windows and power locks were designed with one half of the switch raised up, with the other half recessed, in order for its function to be identified by touch. To further enhance this "user friendliness," the dashboard had all of the controls in the central area, within reach of the driver. The left side of the dash also curved slightly around the driver, to make controls easily accessible as well as creating a "cockpit" feel. However, it wasn't curved enough to prevent the passenger from easily identifying and using the vehicle's main controls as well. The interior of the Taurus was highly customizable to fit buyers' needs, with a large number of options and three different configurations. This meant that the interior of the Taurus could be spartan or luxurious, depending on the buyer's choice of options. On models with an automatic transmission, the Taurus' interior was available in three different seating configurations. The interior equipment depended on model. The most basic model, the L (see below), came standard with just an AM radio and a front cloth bench seat, while the LX, the highest model, came with a high level of standard equipment. The 1986 Taurus was very well received by both the public and the press. It went on to win many awards, most notably being named Motor Trend's car of the year for 1986, as well as being named on Car and Driver's ten best list for 1986. Over 200,000 Tauruses were sold for the 1986 model year, and in 1989, the millionth Taurus was sold. When production ended in 1991, more than 2,000,000 first generation Tauruses had been sold.
