STOLEN IN KNOXVILLE,
TN 1942 WILLYS & TRAILER
Here are the facts: The truck
and trailer were taken from the Springhill Suites parking lot,
Knoxville, TN sometime between 1130-1145 PM, Sunday, 15 June.
Dave Hales and I were parked in parallel adjacent to the right
side of the front of the Springhill Suites, I was in front, Dave
was parked behind me. When I went out at 0600 AM the following
morning, the truck and trailer were gone... We have found the
truck but no sign of the trailer or car.
The trailer is a 2005 26ft Haulmark
Edge, white with no lettering, license 804534TR VA.
The Willys coupe is a 1942 steel
coupe painted PPG lemon chrome yellow with a stock frame, stock
plated Willys front axle and a Currie rear end. The license plate
of the coupe is LOW ET VA (Antique plate), the interior is black,
chrome window trim, yellow dash with original speedometer. Also
inside the trailer was our EZ-GO golf cart which is painted the
same color as the coupe and has white upholstery.
A police report is filed, the
number of the Knoxville police auto theft division is 865-215-7324.
My home phone is 703-690-9706, pbthird@verizon.net.
ALL RACERS, please be on the
alert. I just installed a new 572/720R Chevy crate motor and
a new M-22 Muncie 4-speed and Lakewood bell housing. Stay on
the alert for any Willlys parts or 572/720R Chevy crate motor
for sale. PB
