This is will be an makeover for the Gwinnett Sheriff’s SWAT LAV-150. This particular vehicle has some history, as pointed out in an email I received from a gentleman in Texas who wrote:
“Hi Gerald,
I thought this would interest you.
Your V150 was one that was "captured' in Panama during Just Cause in ‘89, returned to the US at Charleston or Jacksonville, trucked to New York, then trucked to Red River where it was converted to a Detroit engine.
One other from that lot is with the sheriff department in Concord NC.
Cheers…Rory “
Just a little piece of trivia which seems to indicate that this is one LAV-150 that’s quite familiar to the sights and sounds of where action is happening. And as far as action goes…the 1989 United States invasion of Panama, code named “Operation Just Cause” should certainly speak for that
