Posting for a friend

received a call from buddy last night advising that someone stole his trailer which had his 72 442 inside from his shop in Troy, MI

as an attempt to help put out the word I have copied his email details regarding the car and trailer with hopes that someone may run across
this is VERY NEAR FUTURE



Some time during Thursday night June 23, 2005 my
Olds was in the enclosed trailer parked at my shop in
Troy, MI. in the area of I-75/15 Mile Rd which both
were stolen. Police report was made and both are in
the system. If you could please put the word out to
as many people as possible it will be very helpfull.

72 Olds 442 Drk Blue in color w/Black interior.
Weld Drag Lts Wheels, M/T Tires, Chevy 12 bolt
rear end w/w-27 rear cover, Aluminum fuel cell mounted
in the trunk, MSD Ign. mounted on the front passenger
side floor kick panel, Painless control box mounted on
the roll cage, 12 pt roll cage, Rear back seat is
custom fit around roll cage, under body glossy black.
VEHICLE IS VERY CLEAN

28 Ft Haulmark Enclosed Car Trailer burg red in
color. Trailer has dents and scratches and sticker of
an eagle in white on the upper rear corner of trailer.

Please keep ears and eyes open.

Thank You,

FYI - car looks almost identical to BIG Jerry's as far as visual note.

Therefore if anyone see's any ad's for OLDS parts that may indicate that they can lead a trail to this car please call Tom or relay email thru me
at RPTW32@comcast.net

Ram air hood / deck lid spoiler / etc. would be clues.

Thks on behalf of TOM

Just put up



No pics of trailer yet. Tom just opened a speed shop near 15 and I75, this is a huge setback for him.

i'll keep an eye out for anything

Unfortunately, this car is probably being torn apart, but if anybody see's the hood or wing for sale on ebay or somewhere else, let me know, or email the address above.

One was stolen in California about 6 months ago, and the guys got caught because the word got out. Theyre in jail, but the car was completely stripped. Everything was recovered, but the car was nothing but a shell, no wiring, dash, all of it pulled. Fuckers

A couple of months ago I saw on the news a similar case in which a car and trailer were stolen, they found the trailer but to this day haven't found the car.

I think this is the same post from Milan's site? I know a lightning and trailer were stolen. Don't think those were ever recovered though. Hopefully they find the bastard and the car/trailer!

You sure they didn't take it for an episode of Overhaulin'??

Seriously though, that sucks.

That does suck, if they get a pic of the said trailer i'll keep an eye out since the car gurus are all over the east side... would've been nice for them to take it for an episode of overhaulin' though...

The owner of the last Olds(68 Cutlass) that got "Overhauled" got screwed. They did a nice job on the body, but they beat the shit out of the car when they "stole" it and gave it back to the people with a blown motor(head gaskets and a rod knock). They absolutely refused to help the couple out, even though they showed footage on TV of them doing burnouts, doughnuts, and driving the car on the Eway while it spewed steam from under the hood.
Basically told them " hey ya got a custom paint job, sorry we fucked up your motor, here's you tax bill, don't call us no more"
