I found the remnants of the car. There's not much left. All of the electronics are gone. The XFI system and the radio system are gone. The LQ4 and the 4L80E are long gone. The 8.5" 10 bolt rearend is gone as well. They removed the billet suspension parts and installed stock suspension and a stock 7.5" 10 bolt rearend. All the front sheetmetal is gone as well. The only thing that's left is some of the interior parts and the front wheels.

I literally have nightmares of this happening. It started the day i began driving my completed Swap. Please tell me you were able to get some custom insurance for the appraised value.....

Man, that SUCKS! I know the feeling. Had my '87 GN stolen while I was in the grocery store years ago. Saw it on the street a week later then lost it and never saw it again. I assume it ended up like yours.

You say you found the remains. Did you find it or did Law Enforcement? Any leads on the dirtbags who took it?

Lots of people selling parts down here next week for Cruisin' the Coast. I'll try to keep an eye out for anything that looks like it might be yours.
