With body and paint like that it should be easy to spot. I used to live in Portland and when I was in high school I had my '78 Z28 stolen downtown. We found it two day's later in Milwaukie Oregon unharmed. That sucks!

Is that why Panic wanted to know about our cars? He was shopping?

Does anyone know who makes the kit for the backwindow like that? That's pretty cool!

im 99% positive that who ever stole a car with that radical of looks has it in a million little pieces by now. if they have a single amount of sense in their head, theyll know theyll get pointed out as soon as they hit the road with it.

One has to wonder why someone would steal that car...odd. Too unique to revin. No factory parts to use. Personally I think it has little marketiblity overseas...most are looking for an unmolested vette over there.

My guess it has something to do with a personal matter or is it an insurance job or its got one heck of an engine??
