Hey all,
Just wanted to share this cool find

Homeboy's Camaro was stolen in '83, and authorities just now tracked it down and notified the owner.

Amazing, kinda like the vette story

Great story. For once not filing an insurance claim pays off.

WOW! That's one lucky guy if that camaro still is in good condition. Great story.

What would have really been cool is if someone had done a restoration on it.

This is the car, photo popped up in many copies of the story. I dunno about you, but that's one fairly clean looking Camaro for what it's been through.

That sucks for the guy that bought it. I guess he's out the money he paid.
