Pennyman Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hey dudes. My blue 1976 Datsun 280z was stolen last night from the corner of San Fernando and 12th st. in San Jose. It was there at midnight when I came back from the school shop (working on FSAE) and this morning it was gone. If you guys see this car, let me know. plate# 4PVR522 can't remember the vin off the top of my head mods: GC coils, tokico illuminas, MSA sways, 83 5spd and rear end, and some other random stuff.

silverarrow27 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Probably took the car because of the wheels. Hope you get your car back the way was before they or that person took it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboboost Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Love the car, too bad. I'll keep my eye out up here for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggz00 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Any chance at all it was towed? It seems an unusual target for theft to me except just for a joy ride. I think they just stand out too much being an older car and especially looking sharp. A thief would be an idiot to try and keep it. Really sorry bro, I hope I am right in saying this, but I think you will get it back soon. Joy ridden, and parked in some random location I say. I feel your pain! good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 That REALLY sucks. I would be in deep depression. Hopefully all they do is take the wheels....little do they know the wheels are not as expensive as they look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stravi757 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 wow dude, that sucks, I would be so pissed i hope you find them. I dont get why they would steal your car, how would they make money off of it. I doubt they would be able to even sell any parts off of it without someone in the Z community knowing about it.

Pennyman Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Yeah, I'm pretty down. The memories are worth more than the car is worth in my opinion. It was my first car. It was DEFINITELY stolen. My landlady has a security camera and it shows 2 guys watching for traffic while a 3rd dude drives off in it. Can't really make out their faces though. I've been checking craigslist too. There are certain features on this car I can recognize from a mile away, even if it's repainted. Subtle things that only a Z owner would understand. BTW, it has no cat on it, so it won't pass smog (its a 1976), the tires are bald and the clutch is going out, and the registration is due in Dec.

PanzerAce Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Damn that sucks man. I'll keep an eye out in case it heads into the central valley. Makes me glad I'm parked in by my housemates when I'm not awake... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbidsunroof Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I hope this isn't too rude, but your car is wearing the wheels I've been looking at. What tire and wheel size are they and where did you order the wheels from? Thanks! Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowCarbZ Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 That's brutal news. Sounds like a few have been stolen in the So Cal area in recent months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
