This is my first time actually posting to this site, I wish it was on a better note... I have a '57 Ranchero, mild custom, but this is reguarding my friend Dave's car that was stolen late last night here in Los Angeles. Its a White '39 Chevy. Last seen parked at his house in the Echo Park neighborhood. I have added a link to a picture of his car. If you can be of any help with information regarding this car please contact me, Dave (discordia@earthlink.net) or call the police...all information will be confidential. Stolen Car Flyer Thank you all for your help! M'Lynn
I hate to say it but you might want to call all the Lowrider/Bomb shops in So-Cal area.........and tell them there is a reward
Is this the same M'Lynn of Dara and M'Lynn fame... In any event... That car is definately headed to a low-rider shop right now. There are lots of shops in Echo Park to canvas. Hope the reward thing works but I know some shops around here that have containers waiting for them to ship completed lowriders over seas. They still sell for way more than you could buy another 39 4-door for. Maybe it was just a joy-rider? Good luck!
Glad to see no one has Hamber'd this person for posting a want ad as there intro! Goodluck, we'll keep our eyes and ears open. Satin
Hell, I'll take the heat for it anyway. It got posted on one of the Yahoo lists I'm on. And I sent them over here. I figured with as cool and helpful as this community is maybe we could help. And you know the whole karma thing...
Yea Flat, death penalty. Only problem no one gets caught. Damn near impossible to relocate a car after its stolen and torn apart. A friend of mine's son got his 61 Impala convertible stolen right out from the sandblasting shop where it was at. Guys cut open gate moved several cars just to get to the 61. Long gone now. Satin
From what I understand the 39 Chevy is practically the "holy grail" for lowrider guys, so I'd say that checking out lowrider shops & getting the word out is a good idea. A decent sized reward might get someone talking.
I feel your pain...my model A pickup got swiped about this time last year. Hope yer friend get his sedan back in one piece. BTW, got a photo of that 57 'chero?
That thing will be metalflake brown and sitting on daytons by the weekend if you dont get it back in 24 hours . That ****s that it was stolen but in that hood , I dont see you getting it back unless some dip**** gets caught driving it to the chopshop on accident . I had my car stolen a few years ago , and saw the kid casing it . I was lucky that he pulled up into an ally that a good friend of mine lived in , otherwise I would have never seen it again . GOod luck to you ! I hope something breaks and you get lucky .
Damn that ****s. I've known Dave (aka Clean) about 4 years thru the movie industry. Nicest guy in the business. This was his first car and his daily driver, that he drove out from Texas. I will p*** this around my work and my buddy's work. Let Clean know that Eric at Panavison will do what he can to help him. Good luck!
Anyone noticed this is happening alot more often to our types of vehicles? Sonza*****es...build your own!!! Hope the car shows up intact, without being "bombed". Good luck!! Pete
very sorry to hear. I work for some guys here in LA , we have helicopters ! Iam not saying who we are but if I find it we can BUST them. I have a copy of the pic. and I will try to "go up" tomorrow and look for it. its amazing what you can see from up there especially with binoculars that I can read a license plate from 10k feet.
[ QUOTE ] Is this the same M'Lynn of Dara and M'Lynn fame... [/ QUOTE ] yes, thats me...I didn't know we were famous... I agree the car is probably headed for a lowrider chop shop of some kind, I warned him when he said he was moving to that neighborhood with that car in particular, but I figured getting the word out there as quickly as possible couln't hurt. link to pic of stolen car Thank you again everyone for your help, M'Lynn
Not that it is TRADITIONAL, but in SEP of 03 there was an attempted theft on my buddy's 79 Z-28. It was in a Meijer parking lot (he was in there for like 20 mins) and they busted the hell outta the steering column, but someone musta scared 'em off, cuz they didn't get it. Funny thing is... he'd lost the key, but as long as you didn't turn it back to "lock", you didn't need the key to start it! If the idiots would've just tried to turn the tumbler it would've fired right up and been LONG GONE!!! Thank god for dumb people!!!
just replyin to keep this up on top....car thieves are worthless pieces of ****, regardless what race they are or what color their neck is... if I werent so forgetful (would forget it's there and get my own fool self), I would rig my car to electrocute would be thieves.....then grind them up and use them for fertilizer, my hedges are lookin a lil pale....
Im glad M'lyn posted this, she beat me to it. This ****s so much for Dave, as said before, he is a great guy and he LOVES that car. I hope it gets found, and quickly.
I'll keep my eyes open for the car. I live in Echo Park. But damn, people, stop knockin' my neighborhood and the brown folks.
[ QUOTE ] yes, thats me...I didn't know we were famous... [/ QUOTE ] Well there was that whole "Whose Line is it..." deal. Anyway this is where 2 and 2 come together, this is Phil. Pepper and Charlotte say Hi.
And another to keep it up at the top. Can't say that I'll expect it to come rolling home, but the best of luck to you. I'd be pissed as all hell if someone ganked my ride.
Cuvo Babi-doll... Tell him to check Frog Town eh?... But if it's there.... Leave it holmes! Seriusly though... Tell him to be carefull if he checks out some of those low-rider places around there. 99% of them are cool as long as your cool but there are some that you just want to p*** on. I've walked into some **** looking for old cars around there.
