Stolen and stripped '67

[Drache]

Came across this on Facebook. Posted August 22nd.

Ron Linenberger: "Our 1967 Dodge Charger was found. It was stripped clean like should be done to the people who stole it."

dash cluster and rear wheel well trim still left...those are big $$ items as well....car was found in Kansas...check ebay or Craigslist for stolen parts being sold

[Lennard]

 

[hemi-hampton]

Yeah, they left lots of good parts. LEON.

[polywideblock]

as bad as it is could be worse , over here they like to torch  what's left  before leaving  

[RallyeMike]

What a bummer Better to never see it again than see this.

They do the same over here as well.

[Ghoste]

And with the physical effort spent in stealing and stripping it, they could have just as easily done honest work.  Scumbags.

 bastards      

( stripping for parts ,  normally leads to torching it  destroy evidence finger prints , blood from cut hands etc  , rushing  to take it apart  etc   )   looks pretty much undamaged  from the pictures !!!   lot of difficult parts to find though .      least he got it back !!   for me that would be the main thing ,  bit of luck the insurance will pay out  the real value & keeps the car , &  build it better than it was before  
bummer they cut the core support

[Drache]

My guess is they found the car before it was finished being stripped?

Here they either torch it or cust the entire body into tiny pieces and toss it over cliffs into the river.

[ODZKing]

  That is just sad to see.

yeah might have been found , before they finished the job ,  normally  these sort of extensive strip jobs , bolt by bolt , the cars are loaded up on a covered transporter , taken to a someones work shop  / or warehouse / farm & the cars are taken apart there  , carefully piece by piece , no real rush  , then  loaded up on a transporter , & dumped out in the middle of no where  & torched , depending on location , or cut up  , like Drache said

Sad, very sad for the owner......(looks as if 67 Chargers just went up a bit in value...one less running around.... )

[6spd68]

That's rough, there are some real scumbags out there...

To bad for the owner.. He is lucky that they left soms good parts! Like the Dash .. But the rest sucks for sure..

[Cncguy]

Maybe the owner just got tired of his 1st gen and did this so he could get a 2nd gen Charger.

wow..yer kind of an ass for saying that, ain't ya?? 

the owner did not do this himself....they broke into his trailer and too his car and a lot of tools where this was parked at his place.....

I hope the people are found and prosecuted for this...everyone on Facebook is helping this guy with his car...and watching eBay and Craigslist in the Kansas area

After you get that 69 together I bet your ass will pucker up next time a rash of classic car thefts happens.

[Cncguy]

Alright guys, I was just kidding.

[myk]

Not about that, man.  Theft is every car enthusiast's worst nightmare.

I can only hope that the car was properly insured...

[6spd68]

I can only hope that the car was properly insured...

I Agree, I'm semi doubtful though, as it appears to be back with it's owner...  I personally wouldn't buy a hacked up shell from insurance, even if it did have sentimental value. 

[el dub]

I don't do facebook. What did the car look like before it was stolen.

I am not a first gen Charger guy but Damn that thing was beautiful.

[bill440rt]

Disgusting, vile act.   

[six-tee-nine]

Absolutely right....

I would feel suicidal if that would happen to me....

[tiki]

Looking at this 67 charger makes everyone think? Whats the best security you can put on your car?(pride and joy)  GPS recovery (hidden) Mercury switch texting you if the car moves

[Ghoste]

I wish there was a way to stop thieves from getting anything, not just cars.

[wingcar]

Wow...I wish you hadn't posted pictures of how it looked before it was stolen.....it almost brought tears to my eyes...it was such a beautiful car, I really feel for the owner......Back in the day they would hang a thief that had stolen a cowboy's transportion, his horse.  Perhaps they should do the same for car thiefs as well.

Now I feel even worse, all we can do is hope they catch the scum...

...And cut their nuts out with a butter knife or dull razor blade.
