STOLEN '55 CHEVY POST Witchita Falls, TX area!

Just my freakin luck! I make a trade deal with a guy for his '55 Chevy for my '64 Imperial....he pulls it out of the weeds yesterday so It can be picked up tomorrow. I bought a trailer to go get the car and the car gets stolen last night! WTF! I'm starting to think that a '55 gasser is not in my cards! Here's a couple pics of it. I know, crappy pics but better than nothing I guess. If anyone sees it let me or the wichita falls police know.

 

Now that just plain sucks !!! Do you know the guy that owned it, or do you think maybe he had something to do with it ? Good luck man.

 

Met him here on the hamb. Been talkin' back and forth for a few months.

 

thats some bull shit ...

 

That really sucks!

 

I'm not really the religious type. . .but I do believe there is a special place in hell for thieves!!!

 

was it yours when it was stolen, or was it still his?

not that it matters, just curious, but at least you would still have your car, right?

sucks either way

 

I hate a freakin thief!!!

 

Yeah was it YOURS or the other guys?

Doesnt matter, still sucks, just wondering.

 

it was still his at the time. I was supposed to load up my imperial tonight and head that way in the morning.

 

Nice car..BTW..
sorry bout the shit..maybe it was for a reason..

I'd keep the Imp..

 

ya maybe you're right.....Still hope these thieves get what's comin to them.

 

Yeah we can only hope when they go to unload it off their trailer..it slips and crushes them...Karma

 

Bummer for both of you, but I doubt the seller had any involvement. Probably some opportunist who saw it was pulled out of the weeds and grabbed it. Hope they de-nut the jerks!

 

Yeah! So that way they can't contaminate the rest of the world!!!

 

That sucks!!! Just curious... Who's taking the loss? And was it an even trade?

 

something doesnt smell good with this!

 

It's his loss, the car wasn't in my possesion yet. I figured it was an even trade. I figured my Imperial to be worth around $5,500. And he was trading me a crapped out '55, that sounds about even, no?

 

I'd bet it's within ten miles of his house right now and maybe even closer. This theft of old car thing has gotten totally out of hand and it takes a lot of nerve to go into a guys yard and hook onto a car that doesn't run and probably can't be towed with a chain because it most likely doesn't have brakes.
I'd just about be looking for some shady character with a repo rig. They might have done you a favor though.

 

anybody?

 

I'm thinking maybe the owner of the '55 had second thoughts about this trade and rather than be the one to back out he just claims the car has been stolen. Not accusing, just thinking out loud .....

 

was thinkin the same thing....

 

Somebody assumed it was a scrap car - I hope the first thing you did was take pictures of it to all the scrapyards in close proximity and put them on the lookout for it.

 

I live about 4 hours away from there. So I couldn't do that. But don't you need a title to scrap a car?
The owner is here on the HAMB: Devils Instigator

 

that is terrible, very sorry to hear about this.

 

it's not likely that the car was stolen. the owner probably changed his mind and gave you some BS.

 

when i and borntoloze are in agreement, it's got to be true....

 

Dragsta has a very valid point ...


Say, glad to see you made it to Florida.

 

55 chevy.........we have 2 or 3 sitting down here in Frisco.

I hope you guys sort it out. Also I really hope it isnt scrap yard bound. If scrappers cant get rid of a whole car they shred it with a demo saw. Then haul it in.
