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.

Re: 69 Camaro stolen in 1975, FOUND!!
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.................. Lew

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

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

Re: 69 Camaro stolen in 1975, FOUND!!
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).

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. |
