The SFPD detective car the lead characters drive was a 1972 Ford Custom 500 police interceptor sedan. Over the course of filming, they totaled over a dozen of the cars. These were decommissioned San Francisco police vehicles purchased by Warner Brothers for this movie. Many of them also appeared in Magnum Force (1973).
