Actually, the stuff was stolen from the shop after Lynn had left to go to Carlisle. Someone knew they(Lynn & co.) were going to be gone for a while, knew what they(scumbags) wanted, and broke in & stole it.

(My fingers must have missed the "while" when I typed in the subject for this post. Thanx for catching that boo-boo . Maybe the mod. for this forum will fix that for me )

Vette(s): Coupe 74 - 454 Drive it like you stole it!
On the bright side, it could be an "OverHaulin" job.
 
Any clue coming from the neighbors ?
 
It must have been towed in a closed box, since driving it or towing it in an open space, should have got the attention from somebody somewhere.  I mean; who doesn't look twice when they see a 67 on the road ?
 
I'll keep my eyes open (I'm on the same coast).
 
Hate to bring it up, but looking at ebay (either for the car or parts) would not be a bad thing.

Looks to me like this one may have been destined for an "overseas buyer". It was probably put directly into a shipping container and is either in the belly of a ship or very close to it.

Seems to be too "hot" of a car to sell in this country - then again there are plenty of wealthy $$$holes around here who could care less where the car came from.

This one really sucks!

Thanx, Jim!
Chances are this car will show up somewhere with a different vin plate, with an L-88 sittin in it, being sold as "Original"
