1962 Corvette Stolen in Pacific Grove on 16 Aug and 2.4 miles away about 1 hour later a 1961 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport (SS) 409 was also stolen.
My bet is a professional car theft ring and both of these cars will end up overseas in someones collection.
Just sucks all around.

there is a LOT of money in China. Does not surprise me. I feel for you looks like a great car. Hope for positive resolution. Having that 409 stolen as well points to professional guys with well funded operation. Bold as heck the way you say it went down. I had heard on this forum of a guy pulling up to a Corvette at a show with a rollback and starting to load it but the owner was nearby and intervened.

Very sorry to hear.
On Friday night I had dinner at Peppers just a block from that B&B, and parked my vette on the street. While waiting 20 minutes to be seated, we walked down that main street, same side as that B&B, and there were about 6 vettes jam packed in a small restaurant parking lot, including a 59 and a 61...were you a part of that group?

I wonder if you can inform Interpol about the theft? That way you could get the serial numbers spread to other countries. Too bad there's not an international data base for stolen auto IDs. I don't think Canada has that USA data and we're right next door!? ....I'll keep my eyes open up here.
The Mod's made this a sticky!!! Thanks Guy's and Gals!!
The more it gets out there, the more opportunity it will be seen by somebody.
As it is now, there are definitely people out there that knows about this car and the circumstances surrounding the car.
All it takes is one little break.
In the meantime......I'm still keeping up hope!

its sad speeders are more important to law enforcement because of the revenue, keep after them , make them do their job. and they used to hang horse thieves.

What brand/ type wheels are on it?
Might keep an eye open for those wheels to show up for sale, somewhere.
Good luck with your search.

I can not imagine the anger and all the other emotions that you are going through.. I hope that you get your car back and the guy is put away for a long time.

Thanks again to all posting on the other websites! All if this effort definitely helps.
The front wheels are build by Team III out of the bay area.
I spoke with a reported yesterday. The Monterey Herald should have a new article on Monday.
