Hey all,
How long's the car been missing? Don't think "chop-shop", think "paint shed" (and maybe "uphostery work"). I'm willing to bet that when (if?) they ever find it---he WON'T want it back. A friend living north of Bahstin had his Porsche stolen---even had the theft trace thingamabobby (can't remember---too many Fiberglas fumes today)---the thieves ran hard, not far, and ditched when the cops showed up. Not one wheel on the car resembled any other---they'd done some curb surfing and a little weed-whacking with it. My bet? It's in Mexico, Venezuela, or even Columbia by now! Did any of you see the old 60 Minutes on stolen car sales "south of the border"? It would almost make sense to ARRANGE to have your car stolen and then split the proceeds....
Nonetheless, I commiserate fully with the owner. If I ever had a Cobra with that running gear--I'd drive it upstairs each night!
