The Certified Calibration certainly sounds like a police package part. My cop
cars have all had those speedos (I've owned 5).
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about special service Tauri. I've have an
LTD, 3 Mustangs, and a Diplomat (bleck!) Other
things to look for might be holes that have been patched for antennas and
lights. Wiring that has been cut and goes nowhere. A
build sheet under the (driver's?) carpet, radio delete, repainted car, siren
cutout or mount under front fascia, and other stuff.
The ignition key you describe is most likely a replacement ignition cylinder.
When you need to replace the ignition cylinder, you
can order it two different ways. 1) With a key that won't match your other
keys 2) With a "blank" key that has some notches already
in it. You need to take your desired key to match to a locksmith and they
should know what to do. Or you could leave it as is.
