So the police are calling the restoration shop in AZ a victim. That shop was PLANNING to sell the vehicle overseas, but hadn't yet. Can you imagine being in their shoes? You throw a heap of money at your car to restore it, then pay to get it shipped to a bunch of potential buyers overseas just to have customs agents discover it was stolen then take possession. Now Allstate Insurance will title it, auction it and pocket the crazy profit. That claim they paid out in 1976 was probably $700.
What a bummer for everyone!
