YOU GOTTA SEE THIS
On Duty
Tom and Cheryl Mallette of Houston,
Texas, purchased this Texas Highway Patrol
unit with a 302 V-8 at a DPS (Department of
Public Safety) auction in 1991. The car had
already logged over 200,000 miles patrolling
the Lone Star State. The restoration was
quite an effort. Today the Mallettes have
no qualms driving this “high mileage” eye
catcher/thief catcher to car shows all over
the country.
