The low-budget 'Econo-Racers'.

In 1968, the New York Taxi Commission ordered '135' Belvedere's with a
318, that was retro-fitted with a 4-Barrel, and Dual-Exhaust with 'special'
stainless steel shields inserted between the muffler's and under-carriage
for noise-reduction.

Most likely, to haul the 'Fat' taxi riders in New York.


They were listed as 'special order' 240 HP {Taxi/Livery Engines].

That would be fun... In 1983,(still in high school) saw a primer black '68 Coronet. For sale (600, o.b.o.) ,ended up being a ex highway patrol ride. It was 383 equipped, big Purple Shaft/headers/ cracked like hell (needed race gas..) Wild car,for the money. Another decision (passed on it..)fair at the time, hindsight says otherwise...
