The Police said they figured it was already in California getting a paint job for a movie.

Sometimes I think I see it go by. But it could be another one.

Sorry, but if the original owner who reprorted it stollen did not file an insurance claim the vehicle still belongs to him. When purchasing any used item it is up to the buyer to vet the history of the item.

I think it was around 1973 or 1974.

Dedham Mall doesn’t even exist anymore.

Yes, and of course now you can get a complete brand new body shell assembly to build one from scratch. Courtesy of Taiwan.

When I was in high school I used to drive a 1986 Dodge Omni. I never worried about anyone stealing it.

Had a buddy with a 30-year-old Ford beater that he would leave the in hoping someone would steal it but no one ever did. (It was in bad shape although it still drove).

“When I was in high school I used to drive a 1986 Dodge Omni. I never worried about anyone stealing it.”

I had a 1976 Honda Civic hatchback in baby blue. I could barely get people to ride with me.

The Title has to be Traced backwards and hopefully they will find the scumbag that Stole it and any Accomplices that were involved in the fraudulent alteration of the VIN.

Criminally and civilly, I suspect that the statutes of limitations has expired. I'm afraid the bad guys might have gotten away with this one.

Yes, “let the buyer beware” is still good advice. Had to suck for that father and son that did a full on restoration for that Mustang. I wonder how much they lost out on with nothing to show for?

To my eyes, it kinda looks like an old VW Rabbit/Golf...and still just as ugly.

Dodge Omni GLH “Goes Like Hell” I actually wanted one but I was a poor high school kid in 1986. I think I still have the dealer catalog for that model along with the Dodge Shelby Z.

I'm sure that last thing that father and son would like to hear is "you should have made sure you had clean title before you sank all that time and money into the car" but they should have made sure that they had clean title before they sank all that time and money into the car. Bet it won't happen again.

If I recall, and it has been maybe 25 years or so, they put in around $20K or so.............

Here’s a website that has a list of classic cars that have been reported stolen:

What year was it stolen?..............

Take 17 years from 2020 looks like 2003 maybe..

Not that car, the FReeper’s mother’s car.............

Tommy is the rightful owner.

Only if the insurance didn't pay out. If they paid him, it's theirs.

A friend had an AMC Gremlin for a work car. He broke down in Louisiana and a local mechanic said, “Son, I could do more for you if you had cancer.”
