Seller's Description
NOTE: This vehicle can be fully registered in Australia. It is NOT from the Movie World Gold Coast fleet. This was privately imported and it has been in my private collection for 9 years. I've registered the car a number of times over the years without any issue
* Fully compliant for registration and can be registered. Was recently registered in NSW, and since lapsed *
Remember Terminator 2, Die Hard, Beverly Hills Cop, Police Academy, and many other Hollywood films of the 80s and 90s? Well, this is a one-off opportunity to own this Los Angeles police car, a screen accurate Terminator 2 replica. The only one of its kind available in Australia. Possibly the ONLY one in the world!

This is a 1988 Chevrolet Caprice sedan that has been fastidiously restored, with absolutely no expense spared, to the finest details of accuracy. The car was fully stripped to a bare metal shell before being sprayed in the infamous black-and-white colour scheme. The car is an exact replica of the T1000 police car from the 1991 film Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and is believed to be the only example of this movie car in the world. Screen accurate even down to the licence plates! Every last detail has been painstakingly crafted into the car and absolutely no expense was spared, with the full restoration taking 4 very hard years to complete. It would be almost impossible to pull this together in 2025. Brand new EVERYTHING. Brakes, wheel bearings, fuel tank, completely brand new period correct police 4-bolt main 350 V8, brand new turbo 350, new tail shaft, restored diff. The list is endless!
The car has been fitted with all of the original, period correct LAPD equipment, which functions as it did in service at that time. It is the most equipped privately owned U.S police vehicle currently in Australia. Flashing red and blue roof lights Flashing wig-wag head lights 100 watt siren PA system Functioning Motorola police radio (hear the dispatcher broadcasting real radio calls) Re-broadcast function (police dispatch calls can be switched to the siren speaker, for working crime scenes, accidents, etc) Police mobile data terminal computer (turns on, functions, and displays warrant checks, etc) Driver and passenger spot lights, able to be moved around from inside the patrol car Overhead interior police map light Antennnas Shotgun lockable gun rack (US style) Equipment box in trunk containing: First aid kit, fire extinguisher, traffic ticket book, LAPD 'patrol sheets' folder, notebook, crime scene tape, bodybag, American cash bundles (movie money), baton, flashlight, road flares, traffic cones, equipment bag Authentic Californian government 'E' licence plates (Exempt from registration) All markings and decals, inside and outside of the car are of the finest details for accuracy. The car has been restored mechanically to factory police specs as ordered from Chevrolet in 1988. This was referred to as a 9C1, which was Chevrolet's ordering code for "police optioned vehicle"
