Wow, sad!

This kind of thing just gets me steamed.

Such lowlifes those thieves are.

That is awful people just don't care who they hurt. Thieves make me sick, I hope it is recovered. My brother restored an old El Camino everyone wanted that bad boy. He put a lot of time, and effort into it. Not to mention a ton on money. As I'm sure this man did. Very heartbreaking story I hope it has a happy ending.

It amazes me how old cars that used to go for a few hundred dollars then are now worth a few thousand dollars. Old is gold when it comes to vintage cars. Sorry for that family though, a lot of blood, sweat and tears must have been put into the restoration of that car.

They made 58,000 El Caminos for '79. While this individual's treatment of his particular car may well have been unique, 58,000 units is no one's idea of a "rare" car.
