Somebody on here will probably know the story better that I do and correct it but the way I understand it, in 67 Mercury Comet convertibles were the Indy Pace Cars and in order to make enough power to pace the race, a couple of cars were given big cams, Edelbrock intakes and bigger Holleys. And it got manipulated into being a "Police Interceptor Package".
