Sorry, I'm afraid I was stepping on the original posters question. I'll save mine for another day.

After a bit more digging online look what I found! The newspaper article detailing the arrest of the kid who stole this car out of the dealership garage!!! From all accounts this person is still alive and I secured his contact info. Now here’s a REAL interesting question.....should I call him, and what should I ask him? Better yet, what if he tells me he still has all the original stuff he took off the engine!!!

OK, 1968 is 52 years ago so the guy is 74. Hopefully he has mended his ways so it's worth a shot. (or maybe that's the wrong term to use!

If you don’t try to call, you will always wonder what could have been. Worse case he tells you to pound sand. I would contact him as you have nothing to lose.
Of course post what you learn here!

This is a great story for car guys. Reminds me of the buried Dino Ferrari in Southern California in 1978. I hope you are able to connect up and speak to the guy that stole the car, then fill us in with the details.
