Stolen 87 Buick T-Type Race Car

[coolmanvette75]

Hey guys. My good friend's white 87 Buick T-Type, along with the flatbed it was on, was stolen Sunday night. The car is an 87 T-Type with weld drag lites (slicks/skinnies) and the truck is a 95 Ford LTD Flatbed. People who were at Etown Sunday morning/afternoon most likely saw the car running 10.1s. There is currently a $5,000 cash reward for anyone who has info that leads to the recovery of the car/truck and the arrest of the people who stole it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Spread the word!

seen this all over facebook, where was the area it was taken from?

[coolmanvette75]

Was taken from Sayreville NJ. U have been seeing me post a lot about it on fb

What scum. I doubt the car would make it all the way up here but if I'll keep my eyes peeled regardless.

[BigRocsFirebird]

i always scan the roads looking for nice cars and all. if it comes across i'll sure do what i can.

I saw something about this, didn't know it was in Jersey. Didn't 5 G bodies get stolen in michigan a few weeks ago?

[trashman01]

the 5 g-bodies were stolen from that regal meet that is held every year i thought. and i hope that GN hasnt made it to the ports, otherwise, its long gone to cuba

The one guy on YellowBullet whose car was stolen had it recovered.

Cars were stolen in Bowling Green, KY and recovered in MI.

Wow, that sucks. I think Bob T. was the one who bought my old white 96 SS hardtop Camaro. Hopefully they can recover the truck and car before it's too late.

[coolmanvette75]

Yea Bob had that car for a bit. He is a great guy and has helped me out a lot. He just kicked cancer and this is what he gets. Such a shame.

Somebody posted an odd entry in the cars for sale thread of turbo buick.com the day before your buddy's car was stolen. It basically said there is a WE4 and a white turbo t sitting in front of a business on rt 9 in sayreville. weird coincididence i guess. but why would a guy post a car thats not his or for sale on a for sale thread? I'll try to paste the link.

well I read that post saying the car was spotted on rt9 near So. Amboy/ oldbridge/ sayerville... I take route 9 home from work everyday but i split off at route 35. What the plan was for tonight when i get out of work tonight at 11:30pm lol was to not split at 35 and just take route 9 through that area to see if i saw the car...

and also get taco bell.. the one on route 9 by white castle.. i think thats sayerville or oldbridge idk lol i dont go that way that often.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

Car was seen Sunday 12-11-11 at approx. 4:30PM on a black open trailer being towed by a 2010 or 2011 Red Ford F-250 with an off road bumper. Both truck and trailer had Virginia plates. The slicks that were on the back of the car were taken off and replaced with regular street tires. The pair of slicks were secured to the front of the open trailer. Truck and trailer were headed east on I-64 towards Virginia Beach/ Norfolk area. Anyone with any information please call the Virginia State Police.

Saw this on FB earlier, reposted it. I have an aunt and uncle that live outside of Richmond and I shared it with them as well. Good to know that the car is still in one piece.

im glad this car was spotted. hopefully the do get caught and they get what they deserve!

heck... they deserve it for being that bad of a criminal.. anyone who left the car together that long is insane and is just askin to be caught

Maybe hoping to grind the VIN and race it at a track in a different part of the country?

thats still risky. just take the drivetrain out and put it in another what if thats what they were gunna do

[coolmanvette75]

My guess is that they flipped the car quick to someone not knowing it was stolen. Told them no title cause it was a race car...

[trashman01]

im surprised it wasnt shipped out the ports, my guess its heading for the carolinas
