Richard Killian’s 1962 Catalina Nostalgia Super Stock Racecar Stolen
Nostalgia Super Stock racer Rich Killian, from Orland Park, Illinois, has suffered a tremendous setback this past Memorial Day Weekend. On May 31st, his Bamboo Cream 1962 Catalina Racecar was stolen, along with the enclosed trailer that it was stored in.
The theft took place in the parking lot of Rick’s Racecraft in Yorkville, Illinois. The Catalina can be identified by the cream-colored paint, red Ventura interior and Super Chief graphics on the rear quarter panels.
The 535 cubic-inch Pontiac engine is rather unique and is based on an IA-2 Pontiac block, Edelbrock heads and a Wenzler intake manifold. Photos of it are provided for identification purposes.
The Catalina is registered and street-legal, with Illinois antique car plates. The license number is 62INJN (Illinois Antique) and the VIN is 962W2877. The trailer is a white 28-foot Haulmark with ARC Environmental Engineerin logos on the sides. Its license number is 65591TD (Illinois) and its VIN is 16HGB28217H156139.
A trailer fitting this description was spotted headed east on Route I-94 headed east about 1:00 pm Sunday May 30th between Kalamazoo and Marshall. U.S. and Canadian customs and border patrol authorities have been notified. Any leads or other information would be greatly appreciated. Please call Rich Killen at (708) 460-7373.
