Glenn, sorry to hear this.

I am in L. Bucks and will keep a sharp eye out. 70's are my fav. GTO so I have an auto scanner in my head for them!

Sounds like it got grabbed by a scumbag passing by in a repo truck or a flatbed.

I will keep my eye out also! Sorry to hear this, I too am from lower bucks, hopefully luck prevails.

unfortunately, i work in the scrap biz and buy cars for our shredders. we have many problems with stolen cars from a few known customers. mine will no doubt turn up as an abandoned shell. warrington police have been in touch with me and following up on known interested parties that have inquired about the car in the past. i was selling my 68 to finance finishing the 70. oh well. guess i'm keeping the 68. i do appreciate the kind words. thank you.

Hey ya never know, I know of a couple stolen "hotbeds" in the bristol area, maybe I'll do the old driveby. btw which warrington cop is helping, his initials would'nt be DD?

Glenn, Sorry to hear of your plight. I hope they catch the persons reposnisble. Did you have insurance on the car? Hopefully you had enough coverage.

ghaines · 09-15-2008, 09:58 AM

no insurance on the 70. i dropped it a few years ago when it was sitting in a garage where the quarters and new metal was done. didn't have an interior yet and felt safe where it was. i insure three vehicles now and four was just to much for me. the 68 has been insured for 15 years. all new metal, tach, steering column and interior kit were purchased from PY for the 70 along with parts for the 68.

Overkill, there was a hotspot there years ago, I was thinking of a few diffrent places. I know of that a lot of cars came through. I knew a guy who worked for this place briefly. As far as old rodgers rd is concerned I met a guy that lived on that road across from wm that gave me a whole shed full of parts, mainly got/lemans stuff. They were owned by an ex husband that lived at the property, would'nt doubt some of them are stolen no way to tell though. Still got a bunch of stuff I'll be taking to fall englishtown. I live right by u.o. I hate hearing stories like this. My helper at work is from warrington, I know there are a lot of hood rat kids in that area. I cant feel your pain ghaines but also know a guy who got his 69 ss chevelle stolen, he said it was like his wife died, this guy was literally sick to his stomach for months, lost a lot of weight, Ifelt really bad for him.

I'm right in Warminster area and it sickens me how dirtbaggy the area has become. I will keep an eye out for you as well. Good luck. Keep your eye on craigslist as well, maybe post a few wanted ads for 70 gto parts.

ghaines · 09-16-2008, 09:39 AM

actually, i'm flattered that i've had some responses on this site. thanks, but it's now been five days and it's looking gloomy to say the least. still haven't told my son yet. i did the old rodgers road tour. i'm aware of some people who are shall we say, unreputable? i just didn't think that car could go to far out of the warrington/warminster/doylestown/hatboro vicinity. lots of property around there. street road and easton rd(611) sees more traffic than ever with the development at the intersection.

Still keeping my eyes peeled in my travels around the lower end and mid section. Also keeping an eye on Craigslist.

Glenn, you might want to grab the latest issue of "Tradin Times and "Sell-it" if they are still around. I remember that being another avenue for thieves to unload stuff under the radar.

Overkillphil · 09-16-2008, 07:57 PM

Glenn, this is interesting. Might want to check it out:

Unreal!!! I wonder fi those wheels are ghaines?

ghaines · 09-17-2008, 11:45 AM

exactly what I had. if I can find some red overspray than that would be interesting. doesn'y appear to be though. same tires too!

Overkillphil · 01:05 PM

Glenn, the paint may not be showing up on the crappy Craigslist pic. hosting. OR, the red overspray may have been removed. Are the sizes of the tires correct?

I have done a little probing on my own and have uncovered the address (it's in Camden). Time to contact Law Enforcement.

DON'T LOLLYGAG ON THIS!!!
