One of our customers '70 Z28 was stolen from our shop this past weekend. Camaro people tend to notice other Camaros, so this is an attempt to get the word out so we can try and recover this car. Keep a lookout by word of mouth, in local papers, swap meets, Auto Trader, etc. for a 1970 Black Camaro Z-28 with White hood & deck stripes. Stolen between October 5th (4:00 p.m.) and October 8th, 2001 (7:30 a.m.)
Taken from a fenced, locked compound at McGees Auto Service, LLC (5717 SW Jean Road, Lake Oswego, OR 97035)
Color: Black with white hood & deck stripes.
This car has: Black interior 4-speed Muncie 12 bolt rear end Brand new, ZZ4 crate engine assembly New, MSD Distributor New, Edelbrock 750 cfm Carburetor Short rear spoiler Short style seats w/separate headrests Stock Z-28 steel wheels Original air cleaner (LT-1 style, dual snorkel) was loose in the car Non-original exhaust manifolds Tach & gauges (tach inoperable) Condition: #7 inside & out
Oregon License plate XUG 170 VIN 124870N519818
Please call McGees Auto Service at 503-635-8252 or the Lake Oswego Police Dept. at 503-635-0238 immediately if you have information that may help in the recovery of this vehicle.
Best case scenario would be that it will show up back at the shop overnight so we can return it to its owner.
The police won't look for it (they don't really care), so I'm doing what I can to try and get it back.
Thank you.
It's the Camaro at the left side of this photo (in the shadows).
Update: We got word that the stolen Z28 was dumped and recovered in Vancouver, Washington. We haven't seen the car yet, but we're told the engine, trans & rear end are gone. We don't know what else may be missing.
The owner is supposed to go pick it up soon.

The engine and trans are gone, the passenger door lock and the ignition was broken up pretty bad. They also broke out the front grille and messed up the front where they dragged the engine out.
They left it in a very muddy condition.
The owner has it in storage and will decide what to do with it later.
