Gavril Gladiator

The Gavril Gladiator is a two door coupe based on the Dodge Coronet. Production of the model began in 1968 with the first generation. The design remained pretty much the same throughout 1969 with sales reaching around 150,000 units. The standard engine option included the 318 magnum engine generating about 230 horsepower. In 1970, the design of the Gladiator received an updated set of headlights and grille. The rest of the body remained the same including the taillights. A small amount of Gladiators were sold to the California Highway Patrol as high speed interceptors. Very few other departments used Gladiators at the time.
