STOLEN AVANTI ! ! !

Aug 01, 2006 1 Replies

Howard Johnson had his Avanti stolen from a shop in Oroville, CA. Oroville is about an hour north of Sacramento. This is a high performance R-3 4 speed Clone with a supercharger. It has slotted mags, candy red paint with most of it primered over to get ready for a repaint. The car has 4 wheel disc brakes. We believe the front bumper is off the car as it is now. If you have any information please contact me: snipped-for-privacy@sbcglobalYYY.net (remove the YYY to send). A reward is being offered, but Howard is layed up in the hospital for the last several weeks, so, screw the reward, let's just try to get his car back. Thanks



I certainly hope that he gets his Avanti back, but if not, I hope that he carries enough insurance on it to build a reasonable replacement. Is this the same Howard Johnson that had a '64 Hawk in NYS? Unless the Avanti was taken for a joy ride (unlikely), it is probably in a container headed out of the country or being sacrificed for parts.
