Title: 42 year old stolen Vette fiasco
Post by: Qikbbstang on February 24, 2015, 10:01:17 AM

The reporter goes down in flames on this one and so to Law Enforcement. Seems to me the Corvette owners wife (hubby deceased) whom the reporter fails to identify, that sold it to Green should be expecting to be arrested for possession/sale of a stolen car. BTW I wonder if that is a LT1?....

  The original owner Dietrich that financed/insured the 6 month old car and was paid off by Allstate has no horse in this race at all and thus being out twice on the same car is unfounded.
Author never says if Green got his money back from the no-name widow?........

the time to run the vin is b4 you buy it not after. too bad so sad. I can remember a few years ago at Carlisle the penisylvania state police were removing front fenders from shelbys to check the vin stampings. If the owner wouldn't do it on the spot, the car was impounded & towed. Myself, if I've bought the vette, I would have kept my mouth shut & used it for my winter rat, & then parted it out. the new owner is most certainly out the car & the money. sucks.
