Gone in 60 seconds

[rippley5150]

Hello all.

I'm going to give away a Red Bull X1 to the person who can answer this.

Its a car question, so here goes.

This car manufacturers name was attached to a 1 off model. It was stolen at one point in time.

What I would like to know is: The make and model of the car. Who owned the car. Who was involved in the theft of the car. What they were doing before the car was stolen, and where they ended up. The original date the car was stolen on.

One response per PSN network name.

Thank you and good luck.

Wasn't James Bonds DB5 by any chance? Good question as well.

 

[rippley5150]

No, not the DB5.

It's not a Shelby Cobra CSX2530 from 1971 is it? I remember reading about that one time but doesn't come across as a 1 off model.

 

[rippley5150]

No, but good guess.

 

[beanpop]

was it the 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner cause I belive it was a Plymouth Superbird

Mercedes SLR McLaren. Palmer-Tomkinson owned it. 4 gang members were involved. Ganchi, Kaduji, Hameed Nawaz, Shazad Hussain and Shakeel Shouk were involved. They toured the capital with a shopping list of top-of-the-range models. The car ended up at Birmingham City Airport.

If I had another PSN name could I try again?

 

[rippley5150]

They all ended up at the same place.

 

[rippley5150]

of course you can try again if you have a different PSN name lol

 

[dabest2500]

If you are referring to the original it was a Ford Mustang Mach 1 the color yellow.

The owner of the 1st attempted steal was the insurance guy's boss.
The second one was the DJ who was reporting on the chase.
The third one in the end was the chick's who's car got stolen at the car wash

Not sure if this was the answer but that was the best movie. If no one has seen the original, you should there is like a 45 min car chase. I think it came out in 1971 or something like that. I won't ruin it for anyone, but basically the guy who made the movie did all of his own stunts, one went bad and they still kept it in the movie after he crushed some vertebrae in his spine from hitting the light post on the highway.

[dafty]

[rippley5150]

It wasn't the original Gone in 60 Seconds, but the 45 minute car chase is one of the best lol

 

[jimbogl]

[Str|ke]

Clue you fiend !

 

[striker12345678]

C'mon clue.

 

[rippley5150]

Ok
Here's a clue.
There were 3 people INVOLVED in the theft. 2 men and a woman. The woman had just gotten engaged to the owner of the car.

I told you that you'd have to work for it lol
