Bingo. Baby is back home again! The full story is coming soon, but the moral of the story is "don't mess with Wayne". The fellow who stole it went back to jail (he was out on parole). The car has relatively minimal damage that I can see, although I have not been able to get it started (the ignition switch is all "screwdrivered up").

Full story coming soon...

Just to answer some of the questions in this thread. I had about $60K in the car, with $45K in recent work on the suspension, oil cooler, 3.2 teardown, 911 tranny conversion, etc. All it really needed was paint - everything else mechanically was sound. Amazing how much paint seems to count in values! The Fuchs are real Turbo wheels redone by Wiedman, etc.

This car had been neglected by me for a bit, but now that it's back home I'm going to start working on it again. Fiberglass bumpers and decklids will go to the paint shop (along with the metal ones too, just in case I change my mind). I would like to make it into a semi-similar clone of this one: https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/PA18/Par...-9146-gt/545803 It's already about 90% of the way there!

-Wayne

Great that you were reunited with the car Wayne, wonderful end to a bad story. The parolee will no doubt be back at his craft shortly as we have this wonderful Gov Brown prop 47 " Catch + Release " criminal policy here in California. Mostly crimes that involve no Firearms, no Homocides, etc. are just Catch, do a couple weeks in a low security jail and Release back on the streets. Rant over
