She has a better car then it was when it was stolen from her father.

Makes you wonder how many Camaro's that are racing in stock or S/S are stolen since the current owners dont get them registered.

That's the difference between a guy and a girl.A guy would be estatic about getting the car back,especially with a BB.A girl gets it back and wants to sell it.It's a Mars and Venus thing.

If you watch the news clip, the car was advertized as a "DZ 302" Z-28. So the gentleman from CA paid $28,000 for the car and then noticed some things that weren't quite right? No headliner, no sun-visor's, wires hanging underneath the dash, 427 BBC??? I wonder why he waited until after he got the car to notice the inconsistencies? And why would he think the car was stolen just because of the motor change?

And of course now it's only worth $13,000 so he's lucky he only lost $850.00..................

And if she doesn't re-imburse the guy for his shipping she's a real douche bag!

Re: 69 Camaro stolen in 1975, FOUND!!
 

So it never was a Z28 , but originally a 6 cylinder?
Seems to me the Ebay seller has some 'splainin' to do

With all the parts available now, cloning is a growing business fake vins special rivets for the vins,look how many c.o.p.o.hemi cars being claimed at Barrett-Jackson.mecum e-bay these days,tough to detect ,people buy bogus cars every day and paying large for them ,it a big business today !

At 1:46 of the video, look at the VIN tag. It is attached with what appears to be round pop rivets. If I'm not mistaken, shouldn't they be hexagonal? Larry is right, though. There's a ton of bogus muscle cars out there. Caveat emptor (Buyer beware).

The non factory pop rivits are a dead give away everytime.

I had a nice black and silver 83 Silverado stolen in 91. In 94 a Austin auto theft cop was making his rounds to the salvage yards and walked by a P/U and just glanced at the VIN# in the windshield and noticed the non factory VIN# tag "pop rivits". He checked the other VIN#'s on the truck and it was identified as my truck. They arrested the driver and went to his home and arrested several of his brothers where they found a half dozen other stolen trucks. They were all deported back to Mexico with little time served and most likely are back in the states again. The Austin police used the truck for a class to illustrate how to spot and identify stolen vehicles. But while it was in the police compound it had two tires stolen off it as well as the A/C unit, battery, radio, and air cleaner. But it now had a fancy blue fade paint job and 47,000 additional miles on the fresh rebuild just before it was stolen. Just my story on the round pop rivits.

Did you get the truck back after the police were done with it.

Re: 69 Camaro stolen in 1975, FOUND!!
 

Yes I got it back. I had to pay my insurance a salvage fee since they had paid me when it was stolen. My son and a friend went to get it for me and took a battery and tires off someone else's truck in the police compound so they could drive it home. By the time I replaced all the things taken off of it while the police had it I only made 2 or 3 hundred dollars reselling it. I thought I would like to have it back when they first found it but it was changed too much for my liking. The thief just chose the wrong time to go to the salvage yard for a new brake rotor for my old truck.

That car is still worth a ton more than $13K regardless of everything being mismatched. It wouldn't matter if it had no cowl tag, SS emblems on the grill, z28 emblems on the fender, 632 inch cowl induction hood numbers and vinyl Yenko seat covers that fit a Dodge Neon with a Ford 6cyl installed.

The body condition alone and as a roller is worth $15K-18K. If it's for sale for 13K then I'm buying it.

Re: 69 Camaro stolen in 1975, FOUND!!
 

I have to admit the headline to this post took me back a bit, as it was on Wednesday, January 10th 1975, when my '69 Z-28 was stolen from my workplace. It was found 7 months later, with a bunch of other vehicles all stripped and scattered to parts unknown.I had already settled with my insurance company by then, and at 22 wasn't wise in the ways about buying a car back, so I missed on that opportunity.
I'm glad that Jack got his '69 back after all these years,,,I never replaced mine,, or at least, I haven't yet.

"it's just an old car" Stupid bitch!

Good, some guy who appreciates what it is will buy it and this douche bag toyota driver can go on with her life, happy with the probably $10,000 she gets talked down to.

Pisses me off when I hear/see these people who have no appreciation for things, whether it's a classic car or a antique weapon, etc.

We just said that yesterday only we were talking about all the Corvettes that ran in Modified in the late seventies/early eighties .There were a ton of 63-67's out there at that time.
