Attn Kiwi oppos: Stolen race car (last bump)

Minor update: my wife posted on Facebook that it’s been nicked and it’s now up to 400 shares. Not bad for a niche-interest post in a country with a population of 12.

I just found out that some time in the last two weeks some scumbags took my car & trailer from the Auckland building I store it in. Car is as per the photo, trailer is a twin-axle tilt deck, rego J387D.

Probably the car’s been parted out by now, in which case the most likely recognisable thing to turn up is a 308 engine, identifiable by Yella Terra hi-port ally heads engraved with the name Steve Mattich (the engine builder).

Please pass this on to anyone you know in the NZ modified car & racing community, and if you hear anything let me know so I can tell the cops. Because they entered a private premises to take it, that makes it a burglary not just a car theft, so it will actually get a bit of followup.

I’ll bump this periodically for the next few days so more NZ guys can see it, and update once the building owner’s checked their CCTV footage: there must have been a towcar, hopefully they were dumb enough to use a non-stolen one.

Ouch! That really, really sucks. Hopefully you find the car or at least the idiots who took it.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Distraxi's idea of perfection is a Jagroen

Sorry your car got stolen. I fwd’d this to a friend who live in Australia who’s into racing.

I think they’re just C4 Vette wheels. VK Commodores (the version after mine) had something similar on the go-fast versions, but I’m pretty sure it’s not just the same wheel with a center cap:

I’m sure the mods won’t have too much of a problem with this being shared, this is a special circumstance. Again, good luck, and hope you find it in one piece!

How much would I have to pay you to get a hold of these? Relatives-in law live in NZ And I think I just fell in love with these wheels. In other words:

Ah right yeah reading comprehension is a bit off. It’s a nice car, what class did you run it in? I’ve been the timekeeper at puke and HD for a few years.

Northern Muscle. Near the back of the class - it’s a nice car, but not even in the same game as the 800hp boys.
