Robo 1

The Future of law enforcement in New Detroit, Robocop. While the Robocop is undeniably a most effective crimefighter, he is not very portable and would have a hard time putting an end to crime in the entire city of Detroit on foot. The producers of the first film knew from the start that he needed a ride. They got him one. Jay Ohrberg Star Cars was hired to create a supercar for this modern superhero and they did. A jet-powered Chevrolet Camaro ROBOCOP JET POLICE CAR with supercar styling and a dashboard that made it look like a sibling of the Knight 2000… Only Robocop didn't fit in it. ENTER THE FORD TAURUS SHO.

With some quick thinking and very little time and budget remaining, the 1985 Ford Taurus SHO came on the scene as Robo's new set of wheels. This car sported a lighted pushbar, roof mounted spotlight, onboard computer and dashboard arsenal.

Several cars were created for the first film and even more were created for the sequels. Some of these cars can still be seen in use in the television series as well. A few of these cars were sold off at auction and a few have found their way into car museums around the world. One of these cars is for sale in our FOR SALE section with an original suit and letters of Authenticity. Code One's car is a replica. For a recent auto show at the end of 1998, Code One Custom Auto teamed up with several prop collectors who attended the show, in various authentic movie costumes. One of these costumes was a Robocop suit. The show promoters were very happy to have him and Code One decided to provide a vehicle for him to use as a backdrop. As no flat-black Ford Mustangs were available, the logical choice was to grab a Taurus. As luck would have it, the first one they found was Black and silver. With some quick assistance from the decal shop and the Police Supply companies, less than a week later a new Robocop Taurus was born.

This 1987 Ford Taurus (Non-SHO… sorry) Includes the following Police Accessories:
