APB - Stolen Shoebox !!!! Need assistance!

Sorry to hear! Looks like it was once a four door, would be a pretty hard car to disguise if someones thinking of re birthing it. Hope you find it asap!

 

i dont understand why people dont work for what they want and quit stealing from others(.this is why i started blocking in my cars.i left a chevelle out for a while got a phone call from a friend one night at a local pub over heard the guys at the next table talking about taking cars and he heard them talking about my chevelle.now any time i have my cars out i park another car behind them)sad part when you catch them you will probably know them.

 

My guess is that the thieves stole it with the intention of repainting/retitling the car and flipping it-probably out of state.
In their eyes, it's a running, but unfinished (primered) car ready for color of their choice. They won't need to cover some easy to I.D. color left in the jambs, etc.
I'd be looking at 49-51's coming up for sale in neighboring states (AZ,NV) in the next several months. They may mothball it for a year and then try to unload it at their local cruise night/show w/o national advertising. That's where the HAMB comes in to play.
It's got some body mods that they're not likely to change. Can you provide us a list of mods and also describe engine/dress up components? An engine and interior picture would help.
My eyes are peeled in San Diego.

 

tell the MORON COPS that there's a pound of pot in the trunk. they'll find it in a jiffy....

 

keep doing craigslist searches but don't use the craigslist search engine, use something like this: http://www.allofcraigs.com/ i got a ton of results for "1949 ford".

 

Here we go again......

Damn crookes

 

Bastards! I've got my eyes open in N. San Diego county. Yes, a description of mods to the car as well as interior and engine bay shots would be helpful. Enough of this crap! Let's find this guys car.

It would be nice to have a section on the HAMB we could go to see all the stolen cars in a single place without having to search for all the individual threads; like wanted posters in the post office. That way, even if a car was missing for a year we could refresh our memories on what is missing and what we should be looking for.

 

I'm in San Diego this week. Will keep my eyes open!

 

Sorry for your loss. With the great list of details and the photos these thieves will be hard pressed to take it out and not be noticed. We'll keep our eyes peeled.

 

btt

 

Why no sticky? Bump

 

Nice post Kenny. Those guys better get it back on the trailer and start headed your way. We'll try and keep an eye out for it up here in the PNW. MIke

 

Bump

 

This is Bullshit man..
dam theifs

 

sorry about the car Kenny, I hope you catch them...

 

It'd be nice if they'd take your offer & return it to you ... not likely , but it sure would be bitchin' !

Here's another bump to get the word out

 

post some pics of the engine compartment & the interior. i recently picked up a shoebox project and am always on the internet looking for parts. hope you get your car back

 

btt lets get them.....................

 

That's fucking bullshit man!!!!! Gonna keep my eyes open guys!!!! good luck!!

 

I will keep my eye out here in az..

 

I am new to the HAMB, Bit in my opinion that is really needed. If this is already here, please let me know where to look.

So very sorry, my husband always blocks our stuff in too, Plus he locks the hood with a chain or padlock. Hood comes up, but not very far.

The very best.

 

Bump for good luck...

 

x3........

 

should be able to chop off a finger whenever caught stealing

 

Bump.....

Any news? I've seen nothing so far in San Diego, Escondido or anywhere we've been. My wife and I both notice ANY classic cars anywhere we go.

 

I can't do much here in Germany but I hope you find it. Bump for good measures

 

Any updates? I hate to hear this stuff.....

 

Hate to say this but I plan on installing All Star in my car once it is done. Plan it right and you can have the same systems that the new cars are getting from location to just shutting it down once the police are notified and they are nearby. Helps with insurance too since we never can get them insured for what our toys are really worth anyway. Extra money out of our pockets just for the ease of knowing they are safe.

 

i dont think thats available yet, i remember calling and asking and they said, only new computer controlled cars.

 

Btt.......
