Police are asking for the public’s help to locate a classic car that was stolen from northwest Calgary this week.
Police said in a news release Thursday that a blue 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle was stolen from the 100-block of Crowfoot Way N.W. sometime between 1 p.m. Sunday and 7:30 a.m. Monday.
The car has two black racing stripes over the top and a black interior, police said.
Police also reminded people who purchase used cars to always make sure what they buy isn’t stolen.

- Obtaining a CARPROOF/CARFAX report.
- Ensuring that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) matches all other VINs on the vehicle, such as on the dash and all the doors.
- Search the Canadian Police Information Centre to ensure the vehicle is not listed as stolen.
- Be wary of vehicles that have been re-registered recently without a valid explanation for why this was done.
“We don’t believe a vehicle like this would be cut up for parts, for example, it so it’s very valuable in and of itself,” Staff Sgt. Graeme Smiley said.
“Our greatest concern would be, for example, re-VINing of the vehicle and then attempting for it to be resold, perhaps in another jurisdiction.”
Police are asking anyone with information about this case to contact them at 403-266-1234 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers online or 1-800-222-8477.
