Stolen hot rod in florida

Since the owner may be tied up with talking with the cops and other things, I am going to start a separate thread for him about the theft of his beautiful 32 Ford coupe. It was just stolen from Deleon Springs, Florida, and has a lot of distinctive features, like a real steel firewall being grafted in, etc.

Here is a link to the build thread so you can find all the details on the car, and also a picture of it. Lets get as many eyes looking for this car as we can and get it back in one piece for him.

And you can find the build details on this thread:

hope he finds it unmolested. that would be nice

 

Glad you put this up! Praying they find it.

 

I followed the build thread on this one. Hope it gets back to the owner.

 

sucks balls, nice car, hope he gets it back.

 

This really upsets me, a guy works his tail off building a nice car, and some scum(s) go through a wall and take it. The owner is just such a nice guy too.

I suggest everyone put sufficient insurance on their cars because this stuff is happening WAY too often anymore.

Nice Don! Thanks for taking the initiative on this one for the guy!

DAM! That really sucks.........Hope they find it..I taged along on the build of this rod and it turned out killer. So sorry to see this missing.

 

A few nights ago I was leaving my shop around 1 am and all of a sudden I saw flashing lights behind me, a Sherrif was pulling me over. He wanted to know what I was doing in that area at that time of night. He was polite and so was I and I thanked him for keeping an eye on our area and our shop. Part of me thought it was strange that he did it, but things like this 32 being stolen make me want to call the substation and thank the Officer on duty...............in fact, I am going to do just that.

great idea don. they probably don't get that enough.

this sucks. i don't follow many hot rod threads, but i did this one. great car. i tell people about what he did to it all the time.

i don't guess it matters too much, but, where did they steel it from? home?

 

if you get any details, post it here, the hamb has eyes everywhere.

 

Man this really sucks. I have seen this car a few times, the owner did a hell of a job with it. Hopefully it will be found intact.

 

I just got done going through the entire build thread for this car. If any parts show up around here I will recognize them. Hopefully it will make it back home.

 

This SUCKS!!!

I hope they find the car before he finds him.

Keep this up on top

 

Bummer. I sure hope it is found and not cut up. Or isn't earmarked for a container in Miami and a short ride to Columbia. Gary

 

Thanks for posting this for me. I hope it is found soon, Shelby is very sad about her coupe.

 

Great car. Hope it hets recovered intact.

 

What are the police saying ? Did no neighbors or anyone see anything ? I would be knocking on every door near my home just in case someone might have some little piece of info.

What kind of wall did they go through? That is a very odd part of this story.

I think Don has issued what we would call a HAMBER Alert.!

 

Eyes open in Jersey. Best of luck getting her back ! I have no problem dropping a thief with some lead filler

 

Eyes open in Tampa/St. Pete...

 

Hot Turkey,
It's a dang sham some people think they can just take what they didn't pay for I am about two hours south of you I keep a eye out for it down this way.

You mite also try posting this over on the southernairboat.com site we have a stolen section and with most of the members being form Florida it gets allot of people looking for stolen items

 

Hope it's found quickly. Will be keeping an eye out in MS.

 

I hope the car gets found it make my stomach turn thinking of it!

good luck in finding it

 

Agree, I put thieves and murders in the same class of people, they all should be nuked in a giant microwave oven.

 

Don...

Thanks for starting this Thread.

Always tragic when someone thinks they can get "Something For Nothing", by stealing someone's hard-earned property...especially a beautiful Rod like this with so much love & hard work poured into it.

Hope they find both the Rod...and the Perp !
