Re: Stolen car
 

They got some of the guys yesterday.

first - I thank the good Lord they found it
second-I have to pick it up from Hot Springs Ark.
third- I want to thank all you guys for the help. Lot of good people out there and I will personally thank you if I ever have the fortune of meeting you.

Now trying to figure out the best way to get it back - I'm 17 hours away. In addition, I have to pay towing and storage. But at least I'm getting it back.

thanks again

Doyle

Doyle that's great news,my grandmother always said good things happen to those who wait .so you waited a little longer but now enjoy that beautiful camaro with your son.prayers do get answered.

Re: Stolen car
 

Thats GREAT news......I lost my 68 Z-28 back in 1969 to a theft ring from Wash. D.C.. It took a week for the police to find it.....What was left of it. No engine, trans, drive shaft, seats, wheels and tires, tools in the trunk, etc. If I had known that Z-28's would be what they are worth today I would have kept the remains. Again.....Im happy for you.

Re: Stolen car
 

That's great news Doyle. I just hope it hasn't been worked over or damaged in any way by the morons who took it, or by anyone where it's being stored....unfortunately, that sometimes happens after the actual theft recovery. Best of luck with it. WJ

Re: Stolen car
 

Anyone use Auto Bahn for transporting. I thought I got a reasonable quote for 1050 miles back to NC

Mr Evans
I am just guessing by some of the posts that you might be near MCAS Cherry Point (Havlock) or Jacksonville (camp legune). My son is stationed at cherry point and I will be leaving to see him the evening of Sunday the Aug 8 and headed your way. I am in so IL about an hour east of st louis and about 5 hours N. of Little Rock NC. If you can get the car closer to me I would be willing to help get it the rest of the way to you.. If we had a little more time before the 8th I would just run down and get it but I am going to be slammed this week in the shop since I am leaving for vacation
Call me if interested.

Re: Stolen car
 

I am not real far from Hot Springs and could move the car from there to Tyler, TX if nothing works out. No Charges if needed just send me a PM. Glad they caught the dirt bags !

Re: Stolen car
 

Doyle -- That's great news that they found your sons ride - hope its OK .Couple that with the fact that you have Internet friends helping you transport it home I'd say maybe Church is in order tomorrow .

I myself have been searching for a car for the last two and a half years with no answers or leads - but then this is a "cold case" - it was stolen forty-one years ago .Something to do in my spare time for sure .Met a great many nice people thru the process though..............Even some friends from ClassRacer have helped -- Jerry MacNeish helped with some "Government " friends that have opened doors ........its been interesting but results would be neat .

Re: Stolen car
 

Once again - you can't go wrong with the racing community.
You guys are all right!!

I'll probably go ahead and use Auto Bahn to bring the car. I really don't want to inconvenience any of you.

And yes Rob, I'm about 45 minutes from Cherry Point. If you or your son ever need anything let me know. I'm close to Coastal Plains Dragway in Jacksonville & Kinston Dragway.

Take Care

Doyle
