    Talked to John and he said it was located on a logging road. They high centered the car and it got stuck. Advantage of having a low car. He also said other than being dirty (looks like a black glob from all the fingerprints they pulled) and the front spoiler being knocked of it, it looks good.

    Awesome news!!! Damage can be repaired, but the attachment to a certain car can't be replaced. I hope they catch the bums who stole it!!

    THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR KEEPING YOUR EYES PEELED!!!! I drove the car little but this will change.

    As Allan said it was found on a logging road high centered. After bringing it to to a local garage they dusted it for finger prints, and what a mess of them there were. I then was able to wash the car to see if there was any further damage besides the spoiler being broken off... where the valance and front fenders were welded togather that does not like to take the logging road either that is bent on both side, the rocker panel has a dent along with several chips, I guess from where they took it and the rock road they drove it on. The gas lid was on different so I am going to drop the tank and have it flushed along with the filters and lines. I am also going to pull the blower off there is a hold down and stud missing from the air cleaner and I fear it is in the carb or lower, the exhaust is just hanging on and I am going to get the front end aligned..
    Hopefully when started it will be running as good as it did before it was stolen.

    I will post some pictures later on the recovery of the car!!!!!

    AGAIN THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR HELPING!!!

    Glad to hear you got your car back. Especially since it wasn't in too bad of shape.

    Great news, so many cars are stole and never recovered. Maybe they will catch the bums.
