Sad news, I know that area, how can anyone tow a car into an apartment compound and not be noticed? It will be amazing if ANY of our cars are left in another 20 years.

Not much body damage and inside looks good so it motor ,tranny ,and all a/c and brakes and steering gear ,oh and even drive shaft!Until you start to add all that stuff up and with a new wiring harness it adds up fast .
Oh man....:frown:
You know, I'm a firm believer that sooner or later karma will always catch up to bad people; but every once in a while, karma needs a little kickstart.
I think you need to pay that SOB a visit. You feel me?

Check all addresses around for security cameras and see if any of them caught them dropping car off.No one seen car getting dropped off in apartment complex?My buddies car was stolen from his job in chicago.There was a bank across the street from his work that caught the tow truck on tape.The tow truck company said car was in a tow zone.The company does not even have a tow truck company watching their lot. Busted

I called you yesterday on a buick seen fore sale by someone I work with on orange ave. I have also seen a buick in parking lot of Autozone on Osceola prkway near turnpike
My bet is someone is or has swapped out drive train into a shell an I will keep eye out for or stop and ask to check under hood..maybe gather plate number
need pics of what you had..i know they all look the same but sometimes a scratch here or a blemish there on even a valve cover could mean the world in maybe finding out \what body your drive train got put into

I appreciate the call.
Checked out the Orange ave car it was someone I know so not that one.
I never took a pic of the engine bay.It would be tough to tell from any other.Except,the alum rad was new and new GATES lines for tranny cooler and oil cooler .

If you decide not to rebuild the car i might be interested in purchasing the remains. I'd like to put a turbo lsx V8 in that car. :biggrin:

Boy that really makes me ill to look at!
Thanks so much for the photos!
Right now i`m looking for a driveline or better a roller cause the engine bay is EMPTY now.I had just put in a new aluminum radiator the same week of the theft.

I'm not sure if John still has this car but it would have everything you need & he's a GREAT guy to deal with.

Yes, we have a meeting in Casselberry on Saturday, Nov 8 you are welcome to come by, Im sure there are some members who can help you track down what you need. Corner of Howell Branch and Semoran, 6-9pm
I might have 3 posts so far! I am actually acquiring a 87 GN next weekend, and am concerned about theft. I am trying to find out some insurance facts... I do not have a garage. I am thinking about a collar around the column, as I had a Suburban stolen, and after going to "claim" it, the police showed me just how easy it was to steal. In DC, there was a news story, showed a 9 year old kid that had stolen numerous cars, had to sit on a phonebook to drive, but took him less than 10 seconds to drive off.
Anyway, I am looking for as many ways as possible to avoid this. The car will primarily be a cruise night type of car, not daily driven, so even pain in the ass stuff would not be a problem. I figure the more visible stuff, and the more difficult, the less chance of things going wrong. If you can PM me with some ideas, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

GPS tracking and don't your mother about it cuz she will tell her friends and there goes your secret.
Best you can do is have a VERY good insurance policy with an AGREED ON value, as well as an appraisal. All the theft deterrents in the world WILL NOT stop a good thief from getting your car.
