Mate, that's not good.



How big is Hobart, wouldn't think they could hide.

That is truly tragic, it is not just a modified Torana that the owner or anyone can build again. Whoever has stolen it has know idea of the significance of this car I'm guessing,cheers Aaron.

I would say they do know. But how are they able to get it from Hobart to the main land is the biggest question. I would be looking at anyone who has moved there in the last 3 months and search their place first. And storage sheds.

Hobart is a City, so lots of places to hide this car, hope the Police find it, Tassy is bigger than people think when they get here and they drive around the state.

Was or is it on Facebook for Sale? I just told my brother and he said he saw it for sale on Facebook today and he would know if it is the same car as he knows plenty about them, cheers Aaron.

Why on earth would they steal an L34? You could never sell it, and you can't rebirth it as anything better. Hopefully they were joyriders and it is soon found parked up a quiet dirt road somewhere.

LOL,

 

Maybe another insurance scam,sounds very odd,they could pinch a far less valuable car and get same parts.

 

But if its for real,i,d hate to be the owner,he would be devastated !!

No more devastated than any other guy whose pride and joy is pinched.

IMHFO, the value of the car is irrelevant to the passion level of an owner.

craig 

i don,t know you!

but i,m insenced by your comment above

anyone who has had or currently owns one of these cars

knows how precious they are!

insurance scam pffft!!!!

and i may add 

they don,t really have to be advertised for sale either!

anyone worth their salt and in a position to buy already knows what,s out there

i will say that you are entitled to your opinion

but if i was the owner of this car that had just been stolen

i,d be wanting blood spilt!!!!!!

before you make a stupid statement on a public forum

please consider the owner of this very valuable piece of australian motor history

end of rant

apologies!

I dont know Craig either but what was stupid about his comment?

He said if its real the owner would be devastated. And like Daz said. It dosent matter what sort of car it is. If its your pride and joy anyone would be devestated.

If thats the only stupid statement you have read on here perhaps you need to go to spec savers?

As for stupid statements..... I think it sits too high but thats just me :stirpot: :D

PFFFT,

 

what ever,its been done before was just a thought,who knows these days.

 

Don,t take it to heart fella,i just don,t get how something as precious as this can just go missing.

 

Apologise to owner.
