WEXFORD (KDKA) - Are you in the market for a new vehicle but one that makes a statement? 

One that could be just about anything - from a party bus to a food truck, or just something cool to park in the driveway. 

Well, the Northern Regional Police Department is putting its 1988 Chevy light-duty box truck up for auction! The truck was used by its special response team for years. 

However, there are a couple of catches. 

The big vehicle gets an estimated six miles per gallon, and the engine is blown, but as the department said - "that can always be fixed." 

"Let's not forget the real selling point: the sheer amount of attention you'll get from other drivers," the department put in a humorous Facebook post. "People will be honking, waving, and asking you where you got such a sweet ride. You might even become a minor celebrity in your town (or at least in the parking lot of Acrisure Stadium)."

Lastly, and certainly not leastly, it has a current Pennsylvania inspections and emissions sticker good until November. 

You can put your bid in now, and as of about 5 a.m. Wednesday morning, the top bid sits at $1,250.
