Larry was one of my best friends in the world.. The news of his sudden death shocked me more than anyone. He was an awesome guy and he was a better friend to me than any I've ever had. Larry's passion for the cars and the hobby was unmatched.. When it came to Larrys cars it was just him, Perry and me who touched them. It was the 3 of us that cleaned 15 years of dirt off his B/M Vette and brought it to SCR for everyone to see in its unrestored condition... and it was Larry's dream that the 3 of us would fix his 2 B/M Vettes up keeping them as original as possible and then show them to the world..
And for some sick "people" to just break in and steal the objects of Larrys dreams just makes me angrier than you can imagine.. With everything that was taken it was in no way a one man operation.. And it had to be someone in the "know". Not only were his cars stolen.. but his house broken into and the titles to them taken as well.. How they think they are going to get away with this I don't know.. Larry's cars were unique.. And have to be about worthless to a thief.. Any attempt to sell these cars or transfer the titles will surely bring down the law.. I would imagine.. and hope.. Hopefully everything will be recovered and the bastard sons of bitches responsible for this gets to spend lots of time with their new lover, big black bubba, behind bars.. I'm going to post some pictures of the cars that have been stolen in their current condition. I wish I had pics of everything, but I don't. Hopefully these will help.. and keep an eye and an ear out.. Let's at least hope we can return Larry's dreams to where they belong so they can live on in his memory the way he wanted. Thanks guys

I am both shocked and angry. Larry was the type of guy who had time for any car guy regardless of his own exceptional collection. He seemed to have time for everyone.
What angers me is that there can be no greater lack of respect for him and his life than stealing his cars shortly after his passing. He nor his family deserves any of this crap. Let's get the word out there asap and get the SOB's. Many of us owe that to him.....

Wow! I can't believe what happened to Larry. I never met him, but he always had some great information and experiences to share with us all. He will be missed. As for his things being stolen, that's just incredible. Hopefully they will be found quickly before they can leave the country or worse. Somebody must have know about him and his cars to know they had time to get in and take what they did. Let's keep an eye out for his stuff guys!

This is the front of Larry's 70 Baldwin/Motion Phase III GT.. In the background you can see the side of the wrecked 84 Corvette coupe that was stolen as well.. It does not have a front clip on it and the frame is bent up on the driver side. It's otherwise a complete car. This is the only picture of it I have.

I'm sorry to hear about Larry's passing. I was thinking he may be attending the BRIC at Road America as it is a Can Am reunion. I've visited with Larry about Can Am cars and our love for them a number of times.
I'll be thinking about him that weekend. |

This is Larry's 70 B/M Phase III GT that was stolen. In the background outside the door you can see the Chaperall 25ft? 5th wheel trailer that was stolen as well. That is the back door to Larry's shop. It faced a fenced in yard. The thiefs cut that fence and took everything out of the shop through that back door. They had to put tires on that trailer to steal that thing.. This was no easy one man operation..

This is another photo of the 70 GT in the condition it's in currently. Let's hope it's recovered and returned where it belongs.
