The 34 Ford that Bonnie and Clyde was killed in was stolen in Topeka,Kansas. Wonder what the orginal owners were paid for it?

The car new cost $835. to get the car back after the shooting the org. owner's had to pay almost $3000.... in 1973 the car was auction off for $175K... in 1988 the car was auction off for $250K to Whiskey Pete's casino near Las-Vegas,.. after that...don't know.

The claim on the dillinger car was that it had historic documentation, not to mention the remaining bullit holes. The car was also used in the johnny depp movie "public enemies. After the shoot out and get away, the car was recovered and giving back to the owner from which it was stolen.

What had happened was his arm was in rigor mortis and when they covered up the body that was the result.

Weird how stories get started.......

Boing!

I was glad I saw Bonnie and Clyde's death car in 2005 on the CA NV border in a casino.

I think it has been moved somewhere.
