Federal authorities have identified an 11-person group they allege was responsible for stealing an unusually broad collection of collector vehicles and motorcycles. The reported haul includes a Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454, several vintage race cars, an Indy car and 20 Bultaco motorcycles.
The case stands out for the apparent mix of vehicles involved. A Chevelle SS 454 carries strong interest among American muscle-car collectors, while historic race machinery and an Indy car occupy a far narrower and potentially more traceable part of the collector market.
The inclusion of 20 Bultaco motorcycles also suggests that the alleged operation extended beyond cars. Bultaco remains closely associated with classic off-road and competition motorcycles, making its surviving machines desirable among specialist collectors.
Federal authorities have described the group as a theft ring, though the available account does not detail the locations of the thefts, the recovery status of the vehicles or the individual roles alleged for the 11 people. The case was reported by Carscoops.
