Guys, stop with the overseas claims. The customs processes make smuggling a car across borders very difficult especially (as claimed here) the mode of transport is sea or air freight. Come on...

Steve is a hero amongst the Mopar crowd. His collection and preservation of Mopar memorabilia has helped validate many discussions over the years. Like everyone else has noted, what they hell do crooks do with a car of this nature? They're up a creek with no paddle. Their best bet is to dump it like what happened with Papa John's Camaro.

That car is gone. Like Chicago, if something needs to disappear, it will. I used to detail cars as a kid (to help pay for my college education) for one of the largest scrap metal companies in Chicago. I became very close to the owners, and did all their cars and some of their special trophy trucks, I would deliver the cars to different locations when done (different yards), as they paid me very well. What you see go into the crusher at times, will only say, this car will be gone in a big city. Just picture in your head, some of the scenes in the movie, gone in 60 seconds. I will bet a bunch of white castle burgers, it will never be seen again.

How a car, in a high profile collectors hands, is not in view of a security camera, is a head scratcher for me.

Unfortunately a removed vinyl top and paint job would make this one disappear relatively easily. Nobody would recognize it.
I'm still going to have to disagree with you Daniel (MosportGreen66). Stolen cars leave the US all the time in conex boxes. Yes, it's more difficult now, but it's still going on without a doubt. Only a small percentage of shipping containers ever get checked.

@ only 50K now,I kinda think it's a reward money amount that the thieves are really looking @,from the day they took it.
Bury the car and wait..

Re: Juliano Mod Top Hemi Cuda Stolen
 

This car could have been an order and already sold for oversea buyer. We do not have the manpower to search every container leaving or coming in ports. 60 mins had a story of stolen luxury cars going to africa, they run them through the busiest ports to increase the chance of not getting caught. The port authority and homeland security can put a flag on that vin# make, model and try to watch all paperwork. But they will never be able to search every container.

Wow . . . kinda just emailed a friend with a similar response. The overseas explanation is a cliche. Were people saying the same thing about COPO Pete's Camaro?

Let the cops do their job and let Steve deal with his loss in peace. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Maybe the Donald can see to it that nothing goes out of OR comes into the US without the proper paperwork..
