The 1970 Pontiac GTO is more than just a classic car for the Bennett family. The family is from New York and were on their way to a GTO National Convention. When they stopped in Indiana for a night, the car was stolen out of their trailer.
INDIANAPOLIS —"It's just part of the family. We feel like we've lost a child," Jill Campbell-Bennett said."Both of my kids came home in the hospital in it. It was in our wedding," she said.
Bennett says it was part of the family for 27 years until it was stolen at the La Quinta Inn on Executive Drive near the Indianapolis International Airport.The Bennett's are from upstate New York. They were cruising through Indianapolis on June 26 to get to a GTO National Convention three hours away."The car was gone. They undid the straps. They cut the door and it was empty," Bennett said.It was caught on camera.
"We've had a lot of memories in it for sure. If anybody sees it we'd love to get it back," Bennett said. The classic is worth around $35,000, according to the police report, but the owner of Ray Skillman Collector Car Sales explained they're priceless for families. "There can be relationships with cars, especially if you got to really restore one correctly. We restore cars here and every nut and bolt are off. There's not one thing that we didn't do to it. The bottom of it is restored, just like the top part that you never see. There's a lot of man hours involved in doing something like that," Skillman said."I hope that these people have the car insured because there's several companies that insure classic cars.
