   Hopefully the link works.  Not sure what the story on this one.   R code at the least.   Happy New Year.

If theft is the reason then I am surprised the trunklid and end caps were not taken also given the ease of taking off compared to other fiberglass.

A close up of the VIN, the stampings look a bit "off"
Tough to read, either be 1446 (Pastel Grey) or 1448 (Acapulco Blue).
Listing shows the car listed as "theft" out of California

i would call it a 6 .....
Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .

Looks like a New Jersey safety inspection sticker on the windshield.  Doesn't look like a real one though.

Hey Bob, I agree considering they removed the lace pieces. Probably looking for the screws that hold them on. Also, why take the clock and not the instrument cluster. Have to wonder if the cops showed up while they were stripping it down.
