    In 1990, General Motors announced it would be producing a new ‘B4C’ pursuit package for the Chevrolet Camaro, which would be sold exclusively to law enforcement.
    The B4C package was based on the Camaro RS and included a performance exhaust system, four-wheel disc brakes, 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, a heavy-duty battery/electrical system, 3.23 gears, an additional oil cooler, Z28 suspension, an exterior spotlight and a 145-mph speedometer. Law enforcement agencies could also opt for the more potent 350 cubic-inch V8 over the smaller 305 motor and either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission.
    It seems the police in Boones Mill, Virginia didn’t need much convincing that the Chevrolet Camaro with the B4C package would be a competent pursuit vehicle. The department placed an order for the vehicle on the same day GM announced the package – and now, that exact car is for sale on Craigslist in the small southern town.
    According to the current seller, who seems to be the former chief of police in Boones Mill judging by the description in the listing, the department kept the Camaro in service for about six years before selling it. The seller also notes that it was “never beat” in a race over the years, though several Ford Mustang drivers (who were rather bold trying to race an LEO, to be honest) tried and failed. It has covered 73,665 miles over the years and despite the rather interesting life it’s lead thus far, it has never been in an accident.
    The lucky buyer of this B4C-equipped Chevrolet Camaro will also get the original VA title with the car, the original owners’ manual and a copy of a photo showing it alongside the No. 30 NASCAR Pontiac Grand Prix of Michael Waltrip. The photo was taken after the NASCAR star and his Winston Cup Series team spotted an officer doing radar on the highway while en-route to a race and stopped to have a look at the unique cop car.
    The seller is asking $20,000 for the opportunity to put this piece of small-town history in your garage. Check out the listing at this link for more information and photos.

      I was a teenager in Roanoke in the mid to late 90s, about 15 minutes north of Boones Mill. This car is a local LEGEND. To this day, everyone around here knows you do EXACTLY 45 driving thru Boones Mill.

      The Toronto Metro Police had a few of these to patrol the Don Valley Parkway.

      My friend who was a Metro Police drove one of these.

      He said it was a awesome car.

      A very Informative article on the 1991 Police Camaro. I am that policeman (former Chief of Police) who drove this Camaro. Everything in your article was accurate. However, it appears that this Camaro may now be sold, as I have a deposit on it. If sale is completed, it will be going to California or Arizonia, possibly to a small private museum. Will keep you advised. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Lynn
