    Now it will make a great RUF car...?

    That is a very impressive chop shop that took everything of significant value to easily resell.

    Wow, they must have used an enclosed trailer to move that GT3 around.

    Wonder why they didn't take the steering wheel?

    Those are definitely worth $1500+ and are very easy to resell.

    More surprised that it's not in a container heading to M/E or other suitably distant destinations.....

    I don't buy it...

    either this car was wrecked and dismantled, or its at a race shop.

    It's true.

    Owner parked it on Jan 30th, 8 pm, returning 2 hours later the car was gone.
    Bought it 3 months before.

    On Feb 8th they found the remains 120 km away.

    In this picture there's the police on the left...

    In 1996 my Acura Integra was stolen. A couple days after I got the check from the insurance company they found the car. The people at the impound lot said I could come by and get my stuff out of it. When I showed up there it looked like this. No motor, no wheels, no stereo, and most of the interior stripped out. All I got out of it was a baseball cap.

    Stripping cars down is nothing new. :(

    Pretty sad. That car is iconic.

    Every thread has the word 'iconic' in it, it seems...

    AOL darn near has it in every paragraph...

    Nothing against you, you're just swept up in an iconic surge.


    Jumped the shark.

    Because it is actually the strongest and fastest non-turbo 911 GT with a stick... and may be the last one.

    At least the 991 GT3 will only come with PDK.

    I was wondering about that also. Airbag complications perhaps?
