After putting the shifter into 1 at the track and doing a spectacular 2nd gear start, I figured out that my 1 position actually gave me 2nd gear. I thought something in the valve body was just messed up until I got my AOD manual and it mentioned a low gear lockout on police models.

Were the cop spec Crown Vics the only cars that came with this option, or was it available on other models too. Any thing else different about transmissions with that option?
