Dragonhawk1066 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 If anyone in here has any pics of this car, I would greatly appreciate seeing them. There were a number of articles from this magazine from 1992 that could possibly contain some pics. Thanks to anyone able to post any.

Casey Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I'm surprised there aren't more images available online, but maybe on CC's facebook page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Here's some of the parts recovered back in '03 after the car was stolen... The Sept. '92 CC has one article on the thing, and other back issues can be had if you really want pix. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Craft-Sept-1992-2082/361877026985?hash=item54418d38a9:g:C~YAAOSw5cNYdm7b:rk:1:pf:0 Edited January 26, 2019 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I remember that the magazine had extensive coverage of their work on this car. Then it was stolen while on the show tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disconovaman Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I remember the story and CC even reported the car stolen in 94 as one of other cars taken from their storage warehouse. a 92 Buick Century kinda rings a bell. Anyway the Impala was a tribute for the Desert Storm troops if I remember correctly... I think I have some old issues of CC somewhere...

I can't thank you enough for posting these. I was a very avid reader of Car Craft and Hot Rod back then and it both broke my heart and pissed me off royally that someone felt the need to steal this car. I'm watching this issue on ebay right now and hope to pick it up in the next couple of weeks. Thanks again for posting these pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcarfan27 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Did old cars have VINs stamped into their parts back then? If so, I think they would've had a case for prosecuting whoever owned that station wagon. "Illegal Possession of Stolen Goods" or "Grand Theft Auto" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSNJim Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Interesting you should mention the station wagon. In my youth, I drove a 65 BelAir wagon. One of my friends drove a 65 Impala coupe. He took his trunk key and started my wagon. I took my tailgate key and started his car. The other key opened the doors. We knew this in the 70's. From what I understand, it was pretty common knowledge. At least, the people who stole my wagon, took it for a joy ride and left it in a shopping center near us a few days later knew it.

In the early fifties this was more common than you may realize. No way of knowing how many different keys GM used in that era but it wasn't many. I can remember hanging out with friends and Chevrolets were a common car to own,. There were times when they would go around where we were parked and open each others trunks just for fun. We were easily entertained back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
