Stolen from Spearwood West Australia, late 2015 (about Aug - Sept.)   The car was in grey primer at the time of theft...

How very optimistic of you, I very highly doubt that given it's value! I would be heartbroken if it was my car and pray that it gets found and returned to it's rightful owner.

I'm guessing the tags weren't on it as they are clearly removed and the car was in primer for paint

 

SO either the shell or the tags will appear again

My friend has the tags.  He is in Newy working.  He is a big strong angry West Aussie, and you guy's no what that means..  he had put on the list of info a reward of 5 grand for infomation...  but I didn't put it up, because the money is more about finding who did this, more than finding his car....   He relises the car may be gone, but the people who took it arn't...

 

Unless it has been cut up and turned into another car, the numbers could identify it ...

 

I know there is not much chance of getting it back,  But the best thing about this Stolen Car Thread is that it allows a very large number of Torana Enthusiust to view numbers and details of stolen cars..  Maybe a post with only the numbers and details of stolen cars, (no comments to be added) may be handy.  That way it could be a quick reference library of numbers and details ??

You need to manually enter the numbers into a post so it shows up on Google

And you don't need to carry on like a cock ....   I'm not making threats Adam, I just let you know, that if you want to be a smart arse, and follow me from thread to thread, hanging shit, without adding anything to the content.  To leave it till we see each other again.  You odviously have a problem with me. Or am I just this months target for you ..  Your above comments prove that,  where again you followed me to hang shit, and add nothing to the topic..    So Adam,  give it a break hey !!  ..

 

To the others you may be interested in the Stolen Car Thread.   I don't know the owner of this car very well.  I met him through a friend, who knows I have a Torana.  I know he has already travelled a long way to view a car he suspected was his, so he is very keen to if not get it back, to at least find who did it.  And wouldn't any one of us do the same ... 

 

I will ask him, any questions asked here, and give any info I can get to you all ..  I have already been asked about the VIN number.   and will ask the question..

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               cheers Ian

Just realised that I owned this car for a few years as I bought it in 1986 in Mundaring, it was my 1st Torrie,
Hope it turns up one day and gets reunited with its owner...

Adam contacted me yesterday. He has got his car back. Apparently some heavily tattooed motor cycle enthusiasts had it. He asked me to let the forum know that he got it back.. :)
