...link was a 1967 Pontiac Firebird, stolen in Oakland, Calif., that was used as a getaway car. Investigators believe Patty rented garage space for the car in Sacramento the week before the robbery. The Sacramento police received a tip that the garage had been rented by a young woman who was acting suspiciously. TIME has learned that the police set up a stakeout on the car, which lasted from Monday through Friday, April 14 to 18. No one showed up.

Reason: trade-in values fall off sharply after two years, and the average age of the American car is 5.7 years; fully 12% are ten years old or more...
...shops and dissatisfied with his Toyota 2000GT, took the car to Chief Kar Kustomizer George Barris, out in North Hollywood, and had Barris totally rebuild the little sports car into something more like an old Jaguar XK.140. After that, he couldn't stop. Nosseck next took his 1970 Firebird 400 to Barris, had him plunge through the roof with his acetylene torch and put in a sun roof, apply heaters (great phony silver pipes coming off the head of the engine, exiting from the sides of the car behind the front wheel, zipping, shiny chrome tubes, down the sides...
