STOLEN 68 GTO Convertible PLEASE HELP!!!
STOLEN 68 GTO Convertible...
Car was discovered stolen 9/13/06am. This GTO has been in my family since 1982. It belonged to my father and was purchased by me and my husband 7 years ago so that one day it will be given to my now 8 year old son. This car was a project car and was being stored under a pavillion on East Lake Road in McDonough, Georgia. (on my husbands parents property) Original color is beige, however it did have black primer in many places. It also has a black convertible top and black interior. Someone has reported they saw a roll back wrecker truck hauling it out during the day on Thursday 9/7/06. This car is very sentimental to me and my family. My father is a GTO nut and it really meant alot to me that my son would one day drive this car. It did run. 1968 GTO Convertible Beige with black top and int 1968 AUTO GTO Factory 400 v8 Auto Power Steering Power Brakes Wood Wheel AM/FM Radio (motor code in car 68 GTO 400 WT) above the rear tires car has been cut out to install new patch panels the deck lid had rust across bottom of it black primer in many spots the hood was not painted (bare metal) had surface rust I am desperate to get this car back.... REWARD $1000.00 Please be on the look out and contact us with any info... Thanks to all! Chev Echols |

I would also post the VIN in this thread. That way if anyone does a google search of the VIN, say in the event it is sold elsewhere and the buyer is researching the car, they will find this thread and see it is stolen.

From what I understand Summit Racing in McDonough, GA. has a cruise night every Monday. Might be a good place to hand out some flyers about your car. Also check to see if they have a bulletin board that you could post info about your car. Year One is in Braselton, you might want to do the same thing there. I too live in McDonough and it is very unsettleing when something like this happens close to home.

Have you gone by every wrecker company in your town? you have to . Talk to the owner ask if he has a rollback not all wreckers companys do . in fact call every one first ,tell them you are gonna need your Vet... towed and ask them if they have a roll back that can do it.then go by there talk to the owner see if they had any calls that day for the rollback .if it was in the middle of the day it was on company time.who knows the theift could of just called a wrecker company and told them the car was his and to go pick it up for me.or the theift could work for a wrecker company he could be the driver .i think you should talk to the owner be nice tell him your problem and then ask him if there is a chance that one of his employs mite have done it.
Good luck. |

No, I have worked around the clock for the last week...
I have hit all car cruises handing out flyers, I have posted reward signs all in our area, I have sat on the dirt road it was last seen on and stopped every car that passed and told my story, I have called all wrecker svcs. in our area and gone by to many, faxed info to all car clubs, wrecker companies... I really believe that it was someones private wrecker and I feel very strongly that it is still in this general area. I am still hoping we get it back...I am not givinig up!!!! |
