Thought I would share this with you guys. This is an article I read in Motor Trend.
"The Chevrolet Corvette was named the number one stolen collector vehicle in a recent study conducted by the Hagerty Protection Network (HPN) between July 1999 and December 2002."
"The report issued by Hagerty Insurance, the nation's largest insurer of collectible cars and motorcycles, indicates that vintage Chevrolets are the most stolen brand commanding close to 40 percent of collector cars stolen in the last three years."
Top 10 classics stolen
1. Chevrolet Corvette (1966-1982) 13.3%
2. Ford Mustang (1964-1969) 6.5 %
3. Chevrolet Impala (1958-1967) 5.6%
4. Chevrolet Camaro (1968, 1969) 4.7%
5. Harley Davidson motorcycles (1941-1974) 4.4%
6. Chevrolet Nova (1963-1972) 3.6%
7. Chevrolet Chevelle (1966-1973) 2.7%
8. Chevrolet Monte Carlo (1970-1978) 2.4%
