Hot Pursuit VA State Police Charger "slicktop" ??

On eBay, there is an auction for a Greenlight Hot Pursuit Virgina State Police Dodge Charger--but it claims it is a slicktop--one of 1175 produced.

Now, couple of things, I don't consider 1175 to be limited, I never heard ANY rumblings of this version being produced.

I'm wondering if someone customized it, but that seems impossible in that type of packaging.

Any info would be appreciated.

Adventures had this one produced. It is factory direct. It is "limited" to the quantity produced as opposed to an open or normal production run. My understanding is that it was to also have other differences to the regular release but through mis-communication they didn't happen.

I picked up 4 of the standard release from a seller on eBay when they came out in December--which are pretty hard to come by at this point--never saw ANY in the stores in VA--in fact the second series JUST started showing up a week or so ago, but the VA car is nowhere to be found.

Nice car. I have pix of one that is identical--lights/push bar/markings....although this lightbar looks to be LED, the actual one is a standard Whelen.

The eBay post says slicktop with pushbar--that is an unusual combo--most of the slick top Charges I've seen are sans pushbar on the streets.
