Police detectives are asking for the public's help in finding a $150,000 show car that was stolen from a Los Angeles transmission shop.
Police say red 1957 Chevy BelAir convertible was taken early Wednesday morning from the San Fernando Valley shop.
"It's not restored, it's completely customized. Everything's tricked out," said Los Angeles Police Officer Thomas Tenney of West Valley Auto Theft division's crime analysis unit. "The keys were in it. Obviously the car was drivable," Tenney said.
Authorities said the owner was on scene within minutes of the shop's burglar alarm sounding and the car already was gone.
Police say thieves pried open a garage door and drove off in the car.

Good point.
Very few 57 convertable BelAirs with fuel injection were ever made.
Factory fuel makes it worth an additional $50k.
You’re so full of crap I can smell you from here!!!
