That looks like one of the Hemi engines. However the AWD Charger only came with the V6 in 2018.

I’ve known a couple people that bought old police cars. Some of the features were not exactly conventional but seemed to be good cars. I remember as a kid the neighbor bought a Dodge local police unit. They didn’t have or forgot to put handles on the rear doors so they would have to be opened from the outside. I also noted the paint spots from where they filled the holes from the roof bubble gum light, and of course the taxi type seat covers for transporting drunks. A friend bought a 64 Ford highway patrol car. It still had the switch to turn off the tail lights which he thought was cool. Had to re-paint it though and took it to Mexico for a new interior. High mileage but highway miles and the price was right.

That is pretty much SOP with a police-ordered car.  
When I was a social work intern for my state’s Child Protective Agency in 1967, I was told to **always** use one of our few two-door cars when transporting kids who were being released from the state penal institution for minors. Even though they were returning to their homes, I learned that many of them would prefer to “elope”, rather than return home.

Our 4 door cars had the standard “police package” of a calibrated speedometer, plus HD cooling system and suspension, but they didn’t include the usual PD-specified deletion of the rear passenger door handles–thus the need to use two door cars in that type of situation. I never had an “elopement”, even though those boys could have done it, even if they were riding in a two-door sedan. I was lucky.
