1991-1992 Chevrolet Camaro Special Service Package In response to Ford hightly successful Mustang police special service package, Chevrolet developed a special service packe for its aging F-body Camaro in 1991. This body style had been around since 1982 and was nearing its time for replacement. The Mustang's body style had been around since 1979, and the police special servic  package, whick was loved by cops from coast to coast, had been around since 1983. The 1991 Special Service Camaro was not the first Camrto Chevy ever built for police. Back in 1979, Chevrolet built a few custom made  Camaro Z28 for the California Highway Patrol for testing purposes. While these 1979 Camaros were not the best quality of cars (there were many mechanical problem with the test cars) , the CHP loved the performance. The 1979 Camaro borrow some parts fom the Chevy Nova and Impala police cars or that time. The tesing done by the CHP proved the feasablity of such a special purpose, high speed traffic enforcement vehicle. In a bit of irony, it would be the Ford Mustang that would get that job a few years later with the CHP and many other police departments in the United States. Chevy was late in the game in developing a police Camaro. It would not be released unill 1991, just 2 years before a completely new Camaro would come out.
