I have, there was one listed a while back, also "Rare". Same basic bike but no chrome fenders. That "Police Captain" must not have reached "chrome" status yet. Smart remarks aside, Any differentiation between police bikes for "Captains" would have to have been done by the local shop or the departments maintenance force. I have never seen any indication of a "special" police bike from Guzzi and this one seems no different than any of the other LAPD/SFPD/CHPD or other police bikes from Guzzi.
I believe there were about 500 '74 Amal wearing 4LS Eldos imported but no idea on the mix of civilian/police-California/GT or chrome fenders/painted fenders. My brother and I have a "Rare" civilian '74 with Amals and 4LS but no chrome fenders. As for the "Rare" quote from the add, I think if you take the total number of loop frame Guzzis imported and figure in attrition, all loop frame Guzzis are rare. They were rare back in the '70s when I bought my first one.
