for one it should have a spot light on the driver side above the mirrior, should have some filled in holes where the lightbar went, should be a lot heavier, you should also be able to find holes in the dash where a police radio/computer would be mounted, unless the previous owner replaced most of the visable stuff

Some of the undercover cars were not equipped with those items, but it should definately have a set of 3.73's or 4.10's, but if you can do 70 in 1st gear, I dont think it does! LOL...

an 88LX that can smoke a Vette? Dont know about this. For what I know all the patrol cars come with the stock motor but have the police package (HD brakes, suspension, radiator) things of that nature.
