hilarious.. since the car in the pictures is a 70 and not a 68 R/T... hmmmmmm had the car for 25 years and does not have a single pic of it that he can put on ebay huh?

sorry... but that sounds fishier than all get out if you ask me.  not saying its not legit, but I am saying WTF?

[69bronzeT5]

Actually if you read it, he says thats not his car in the pictures but his car looks very similar to it.

[Brock Samson]

seems weird to me too, that he wouldn't pick photos of the correct yr..

fine.. he states that.. but what I dont understand is that he had this car for 25 years but has no photos of it... sorry, not buying it.

[69bronzeT5]

Ya, I have to agree but maybe it was the closest thing at the time?

[Brock Samson]

how hard can it be to do a google picture search.. letssee how long it takes me to find a red '68 r/t.....



ok two minutes..

[69bronzeT5]

Ya but why would he go threw all that work and even get a police report and post a reward if it was a scam?

[pettyfan43]

He's looking for a 68 CHarger, (440 hemi Charger WHAT!??!!??!) But the picture LOOKS TO BE a 69 (Check out the rear side markers and the trim around the taillamp panel 70 base cars didn't have that trim did they?) with apparently a 70 front clip.

WEIRD.............

your naivete is astounding... trusting others is good...if you dont know who they are, its bad.  You know what they say about assuming right?

WEIRD.............

The ad dosent say anything about a 440 Hemi. It just says 440.

[Brock Samson]

it says the licence plate says "BIGHEMI"

you think there would be better pics and a better discription of the car...

by the way when i was lookin for the red '68 charger pic on google nearly half the cars listed as 1968s are actually '69s including about two dozen general lees..
and another couple dozen pics are not even chargers... 

[69bronzeT5]

I have to agree but still, I personally think its legit.

THIS IS THE TOP LINE IN THE AD LISTING!

1968 Dodge Hemi Charger 68 r/t 440 STOLEN in Las Vegas

[Brock Samson]

     me neither  intresting story      thanks for the link

[Shakey]

Did we all just go around in one big cirlce?   

[69-DodgeCharger]

Must not want it back if its only a $1000 reward

[mikepmcs]

Personally, I think it's BS.

I am offering the above mentioned Reward and in addition a Bonus (I can't tell you what it is right here right now but it will be good)

I was told that the car may have gone to Mexico, Phoenix, Atlanta or Calif. possibly in a enclosed trailer or with a car cover on it. 

[skip68]

Maybe those phone numbers are not legit and a way to get your info for some kind of scam?    Look them up or go to a pay phone and call them. Or, see if a police report was actualy filed. That is public information isn't it?

   That's funny,     I don't remember using an enclosed trailer.       Chuck..........

[1BAD68]

I dont see anything on there that indicates it as a scam

[skip68]

here's something fn for you guys..

Man, looking at that cow on the Camaro brings back a sick memory that is funny but nasty. 

[mikepmcs]

I just called Las Vegas Police department and the listing is valid.  So it's not a scam.
I retract my previous statement of it being BS, cause it's real.

[Charger_Fan]

Well, that's good it's not a scam. I wonder why he doesn't have any actual pics of his car, though.

Nice cow, Dave.

[kripledbybuick]

I saw that e-bay listing as well! Poor sucker got ripper off in his own back yard! I'm gonna install and independant security sytem to the garage with a camera and DVR setup! And what's the story on that bloated cow on the camaro?!?!? how did that happen? It looks like it was dead for a while before the video was shot. YUCK!

[whitehatspecial]

Sheesh, some of you guys are brutal. The poor guy gets his car ripped off and is looking for help finding out who did it. I didn't see anything that would be a scam on his part.

[mikepmcs]

White Hat.
I respect your post cause you have a good point, but there are so many scams out there you just never know anymore.

They are getting so elaborate with their scam listings it becomes very easy to get skeptical.  Like I said I did call to verify and I probably should have done that before I ran my mouth.

at least nobody got on his ass for keeping a nice car like that outside.....

[CHASWINGMAN2]

I just read the ebay alert auction and thought it looked like he frantically typed it all up, It all seems legit to me except one minor detail,  The steering wheel on a 68 doesn't lock.  He did not mention the club or anything like that.  The wheels should be easy to manipulate no matter what.  Unless he had a chain through one of the steering wheel spokes and then attached to the floor tight like a banjo string?  kinda makes you think. 

[mikepmcs]

Naw it's all legit.  I posted up above where I called the police department.  I didn't use the number in his listing, I googled the LVMPD and it was the same number anyways.  After about 5 minutes and 5 or so transfers, I got the car theft department.  Gave the nice lady the vin and all the other info I could and she said yup it's reported stolen.
I have very good phone manners and seem to get them to tell me things sometimes.  Yes, it's a gift, pat pat pat.
By the way that's the second time i've called LVMPD for something on ebay, first one was on a porsche over a year ago, I had no information but described the listing to them and they said STAY AWAY it's a scam cause we know about that car. 
Police are awesome!

[69bronzeT5]

I knew it wasnt a scam.

[Drache]

I emailed the guy and this is the reply I recieved....

Dear Mopar fans thanks for all of your replys,,,

I?m in the process of frantically getting my cars actual photos from out of state and will repost them as soon as they arrive, the ebay photo is a similar photo

My car is is a 1968 440 auto, not a rt or a hemi, we just put that in the headlines to get people that may be looking for any mopar related items cars ect to help get the word out and so that they don?t pay big money for my car and then get caught with it,

the overall look, style, color and wheels are about the same.

Thanks to ebay I have been getting replies from Law enforcement personal and concerned enthusiast around the USA

Also I'm starting up a website for others looking for their cars, please look at www.stolenmusclecars.com

I wanted to thank everybody for their help so far, and let this be a good lesson for all of us to super Lock your cars down.

Also if you are the people that have my car why don?t you drop it off so it can be recovered, a lot of Police around the country are already on the look out for it as well as my own recovery team.

[Charger_Fan]

I see why he didn't put any pics of his actual car in now. He was just trying to spread the word as fast as he could, before the car got too far away...can't blame him there.

Poor guy, I hope he gets it back in one piece & soon.

[Brock Samson]

well i was thinking it was a '68 hemi pretty rare and easy to spot...
i didnt think the facts added up as given... but  we are on the lookout..  huh guys?.

[mikepmcs]

That sucks and I hope he gets it back. The good thing here is there are so many people on this site and covering the whole world basically.  If the car stays in relatively the same condition, it will be hard to get by the gurus on here.  You guys know way too much!!

Something should be posted on Moparts too.  I don't belong to that forum but maybe someone here can post something on there.

[Charger-Bodie]

i sent the guy an email with some info that may be nothing but, monday night i was talking to a friend of mine from waterloo ia and he says to me , i saw a red 68-70 charger on a trailer today that something you guys are waiting to have dropped off ? and i said so and didnt think about it again til reading this post anyway it was on the road on a trailer heading who knows where anyway and probley wasnt even the same car but who knows right?

[Charger_Fan]

and probley wasnt even the same car but who knows right?

Right, who knows.
You never know, hopefully someone out there will put 2 & 2 together when they see it.

[4cruzin]

Sad story.  Hope it turns up soon!   

[ACUDANUT]

 I don't know about you guys, but I have not taken pictures of my cars in many years.  When I do get them out, I just shake the car cover off and forget about the bottom layer of dust and drive my car around a few blocks. Then, it's back to the barn.  I never seem to have time to wash and detail my cars in order to get a nice photo of it.  I know I am not the only one who does this.  I bet most photo's of people's cars are 5-10 years old.

[GreenGo1973]

Well, it said something about bounty hunters.... maybe i should message him and say that I'm Boba Fett, and I found his car frozen in carbonite in Jabba's Palace.

[ACUDANUT]

 Greengo, What are you trying to say   You lost me. Is that line from some Bogus Si-Fi film. ??

[71ChallengeHer]

I hope not, he might do more damage then the thiefs.  I'm glad to see he got his car back. A happy ending.

[TruckDriver]

Somebody bid $1 on it & won.   

Probably the guys who stoled it to begin with

[400/6/PAC]

I wonder what the bonus was
Anyway, glad he got it back.

[Charger_Fan]

Good for him!
I was hoping that second auction would have actual pics of the car.
