It sounds like a plot from a movie, but thieves actually stole 19 vintage cars, including two Corvettes, from a Florida classic car dealership in the early morning hours of June 1.

Orlando Classic Cars of Orlando, Florida reported on Facebook that nine of the cars have since been recovered, including a red 1962 Corvette with fuel injection and four-speed manual transmission that was listed at $85,000 on the dealership website.

Dave Murray, owner of the dealership, says the 1962 was found Monday evening in an apartment complex parking lot about 13 miles away – with no damage! A local resident tipped Murray about the car after seeing OCC’s Facebook post about the thefts.

Business Insider reports that Murray also recovered a 1990 Buick Reatta nearby after getting a call from the Sheriff’s Department. Orlando Classic Cars has been updating the list and so far nine of the 19 stolen vehicles have been recovered.

In an updated Facebook Post, the company writes:

  3. I think if I had a dealership with this many vintage cars, I’d work out a deal with Lo-Jack which would include instant notice of cars being moved or tampered with. The lowered price would not be too much money. In addition a tax break would be available as a needed tool of the business to survive in the business. As long as people own exotic and sports oriented cars, there are thieves planning to steal them. Glad 9 are back in the fold.

  4. The list of misssing cars is not that impressive it’s really a bunch of crap with low miles and nice paint and to say they’re collector cars is a stretch. 96’ Camaro …75’ olds 88 ….98’ mustang GT vert …87’ cutlass 442…92’ vette I mean who wants those except maybe a millennial. Yes the C4 is still a vette and clearly the 62’ fuelie is a gem and the 77’ trans am..69’ toranado and 76’ caddy should sell but they’re all just regular ass 70’s garbage cars. I hope they catch those young f*****s and I would love to have that 62’ but not that great of a collection

  5. $85K for a ’62 Corvette with F.I. says nothing in it is original and its not near as nice as it looks in the photos. In less than a week most of the cars are recovered, real smart bunch crooks.
