Kevin Earle’s STOLEN Monte Carlo SS Returned

admin — Sat, 09 Nov 2024 01:25:00 +0000

Hank, a meticulously modified 1986 Monte Carlo SS, is more than just a car to its owner in North Carolina—it’s a labor of love. Equipped with a 355 small block Chevy, 17” N90 wheels, and a complete suspension overhaul, Hank was built to perform. The car boasts @qa1motorsports upper and lower control arms with coilovers up front and @umiperformanceinc tubular trailing arms with QA1 coilovers in the rear. A regular on the Autocross circuit, Hank was designed to handle corners as sharply as it turns heads. But on the night of October 28, 2024, the unthinkable happened: someone broke into the owner’s shop and stole the car in the early hours of Monday morning.

Describing the loss as devastating, the owner took to social media to plead for Hank’s safe return, writing, “Someone or ones stole my 1986 Monte Carlo SS from my shop last night about 2:36am.” Days passed without word, leaving him uncertain if he’d ever see his prized possession again. Fortunately, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department came through, recovering Hank and returning him to his rightful owner. While the details of the recovery remain undisclosed, Hank’s return is a testament to the value of community and swift police action. Now back in its garage, the Monte Carlo SS can once again prepare to dominate the Autocross track.
