The car was in top shape with the original 283 recently rebuilt and the exterior paint recently cut/buffed. VERY nice and clean California car. Theft occurred Wednesday/Thurs 6/24 or 6/25 - from 91411 (Sherman Oaks California)If you know or see anything please pm me with information. Local authorities are already involved. Thanks PT community.

Thanks brotha, much appreciated. What a shame to lose such a beautiful original car. He's pretty upset about the loss. I know it's a long shot posting here but figured it's worth trying.

Was it parked on the street or did they take it from a garage?

If nobody's looking, it'll never be found. Right?
Just like kids on milk containers..... Long shots sometimes pay off.

I noticed the HEI distributor. Did they (GM) used HEI's in 1966? Just curious.

No, HEI's came around in the early 70's, around 72 I think.


And regarding the car, that sucks. It looked like a great original. Nothing lower than thieves. That's the only instance where I can agree with Sharia Law... steal my car, lose your hand.

They should put Stolen Car alerts on Beer Cans - you need to get to your Audience!

Thank you everyone for your help...The hunt continues as there have been no leads on this so far. I agree with BMR, we need "missing classic car" images on beer cans across the U.S. :-)
