Default Stolen Race Car..

OK everybody.. Keep your eyes open. Car and trailer below has been stolen from the shop sometime between Sat afternoon and early Monday morning in Marietta, Ga.
VIN # is 9118302275. Car has 993 bodywork, and all the race stuff. (cage, fuel cell, transponders, etc) The left front door was not in the trailer as he was repairing it, so this car will be missing a door or have a mismatched door on it. Was inside an enclosed 26 ft. black Haulmark trailer. Any info please email, or PM me, or call John at:
seven seven zero- eight two six- one six one five.
I will get more pictures up soon..

Thanks all...

Hey John, I think we drove together at Roebling.

I say it was an inside job. Someone knew the car, trailer and location.

Good luck,

she is going strong Gary!!!! New motor from Steve Cousins last year. I haven't touched ANYTHING since I bought her. Done a few clean up things but essentially she is the same as you built her.

Been to HPT, Hallett, RA, Hastings, Gateway, and MAM multiple times. The Pumpkin is well known in the midwest and has filled many mirrors with Signal Orange. Yeee Haaaa

I can't imagine how i would feel if she got lifted. If you bcome to Lenexa with designs on an Orange 930, please see my pervious post It will be messy; I guarentee!!

I hope you car turns up ratlesnake

Rattlsnk:
I know you pain and it sucks. I am hopeful you had a couple western diamondbacks or black mamba's on station. People who do this deserve very special and midevil punishment! I would report the trailer VIN to the manufacturer as stollen it might pop up one day for service. PM if you are interested in some of the countermeasures I took.

Best of luck on recovery. I

It will either be dismantaled or it's on it's way to a port like Savannah to go overseas. You should alert the port authorites around the country.
