The California Kid
In 73', my daily driver was a 55' Chevy 210 2 dr. It had a stroked 327, 11:1 pistons, Sig Erson cam, Z28 highrise with a 780 Holley. Trans was a Muncie 4spd with a 4:56 rear end. I was an Art Director for a printing company at that time. One day, I heard a car peeling out down the street and thought, "That's funny, it sounds like my car". I didn't check because I had an alarm (one of those school bell types). After work, I went outside and my car was gone.
About 4 months later, I was notified that my car was in police impound. I went to look and found a shell. No engine, trans, rear end, interior, bumpers, wheels/tires, headlights/taillights. Even the pedals. along with the clutch bell crank was gone. To restore my car, I would have to buy another complete car so I sold the shell to my Boss's son, he had a 55' 150. In those days, they didn't have collector car insurance so I only had PL/PD.
In 86', I restored an old county truck which was a 69' Chevy C30 stepside. I used it to tow my 62' Nova to the track. It was Corvette white with blacked out grill and trim. The motor was a 350, balanced with a mild Comp Cam, Edelbrock highrise, 650 Holley and Hooker headers. Truck 4 spd with compound low. I came home and found the truck gone. To this day, it has never been found.
In 89', I had a 67' VW bug. Shaved, one-piece windows, euro bumpers, selectadrop front end with disc brakes and a 1600 dual port. Wheels were Centerlines. Color was Corvette white with stock black interior. I moved to one of the safest areas in the South Bay. Within 2 weeks, my bug was stolen from my driveway and never recovered.
Hanging is too good for these crooks......
