Please be on the lookout for my black 914/6 race car and white enclosed trailer. These were stolen in southern California from the shoulder of I 15 near Norco southbound side last night after two tires blew out during the transit home from Willow Springs.
Description: Black 914/6 conversion with Sheridan body (Ultimate 914). Vin number: 4752922908. 3.4L six, Weber 46's. Engine number 64C3872.
The trailer is a white Calen with unique features: double door left side, elevated ramps for car to facilitate exit of car within trailer by opening car door.
Trailer California license plate number: 4BO9640
Pictures follow. Owned and raced this car for 20 years - an old friend.

Beautiful car.
They picked up a loaded enclosed car trailer with two blown tires from the shoulder of the road ?
Big flat bed for that theft.
Big country in that area.
That sucks.
I hope it is recovered.

FOUND!!
I received information via a homeowner that my trailer (and car) were in front of his house. The trailer was disabled from a broken axle when the thieves tried to move the trailer on 3 wheels. One side was without wheel and was chained up so as not to drag on the ground. The other side had a small undersized wheel/tire that probably failed causing the axle to break. They then abandoned the trailer and parked it along side the road. Later that same night the trailer was subsequently hit by a hit and run driver - probably drunk. The trailer was spun sideways and back onto the sidewalk and the back ramp/door was sprung enough for the homeowner to see inside. He could see the Black Forest banner on the back of my car and he checked the internet for the business address/phone number. He saw on social media the stolen car pictures and he then called Black Forest and talked to the service manager. After exchanging information, I then called the homeowner who had already called the police and were on the scene.
Bottom line: while the trailer/car is not yet in my possession, it is in a secure impound.
Thanks to all participated in spreading the word via social media. It certainly played a part in the return of my car.
Trailer is probably totaled but the car looks intact.
