The search the forum and couldn't find the post.. but I do recall seeing it.

But isn't it illegal for a civillian to drive a CV that still bears the MSP cruiser colors, even though the decals are removed? I seen a late model CV, previous model then the current.. MSP two-tone color..

It appears to be the seller you go after, not the one who purchased

Quote:
Chapter 266: Section 92A. Motor vehicles; sale in certain condition; written disclosure on bill of sale; penalty

Section 92A. Whoever sells a motor vehicle knowing that its engine or electrical parts have been submerged in water, or knowing that it has been used as a police car, a taxicab, a rental vehicle by a motor vehicle rental agency, or a leased vehicle which has been leased to any corporation, individual or entity, other than a motor vehicle rental company, without indicating such fact in writing on the bill of sale, and whoever, other than the commonwealth or any political subdivision thereof, sells any such police car to an ultimate user for other than police purposes without first having obliterated all evidence of distinctive police insignias or markings thereon, and painting the exterior of every marked state police vehicle thereof one solid color, shall be punished by a fine of not less than ten nor more than five hundred dollars.

There was an '05 Crown Vic on ebay a few months ago painted in the french and electric blue. I guess the dealership was in New Hampshire, and stated that it had a defect and the MSP didn't want it, they fixed it, and said they would not sell it to a Mass resident. I believe someone made a post about it, look in the Equipment or State Police forums back a few pages

Thanks for the info Ctvtte65, I'll have to swing by to see if the car is still there... so I can grab a VIN for lookup.
