Matty ◊ 2010-05-30 18:22	I really don't like when they do that. It makes it so confusing to pinpoint a model year.

It has taillights and license plate holder from an 82-83 on an 86 to 89 body. It is pretending the be the same car. Later in the same episode it is discovered there are two cars, as the impounded car is not the one used in the chase, but these images should be of the same car from one single chase.
