Very sad. The owner forever wondered what happened to their car.

Amazing how the top part of the car was preserved because of the silt. Reminds me of how some car thieves were trying to steal my 1987 IROC Z out of the driveway. Woke up one morning and found the passenger window had been knocked out and another time I found only one lugnut left on one of the rear wheels. Lucky for me it was the locking OEM lugnut and they couldn’t get it off with vice grips. But they damn sure tried. I really think they wanted the wheel to come flying off when I was driving to cause me to crash and die. The dog we had thwarted their attempts at stealing it I guess and eventually I did have an alarm system put in the car. The city was having a rash of car thefts in the mid 90s and I assume the thieves moved on to another part of the city and left my neighborhood fearing being caught by the cops.

Is it the picture or is the roof intact when on the crane and then its crushed in the other pic?
I remember when 3rd gen Camaros and fox body Mustangs were pretty much #1 & 2 on the most stolen cars list in the mid 80's to mid 90's.....then F&F came out and civics became #1 on the list.

I know what you mean Ineed! Mine had 3 engines put in in the 11 years I owned it and the 5 speed trans was on the way out when I traded it in on the 1998 Camaro SS I bought new. Think I got about $1700 for it from the dealer and was glad to get rid of it as it had been nothing but problems the day I bought it new!

The good news is it wasn't a 1st, 2nd, 5th or 6th Gen Camaro that was stolen.

Poor Sport Coupe. Still has the bra on it. Makes me miss my IROC even more.

Guys, this is how you make a car disappear and get money insurance.
