police intercepter ranger?

What year was the Ranger? I don't ever recall Ford ever offering a PI version of the Ranger. That may be "badge engineering." There's an 80-year old guy here in town with a Crown Vic LX that's got whitewalls, wire wheel covers, fake convertible top- and a "Police Interceptor" badge on the trunk!
