Nostalgia  Super Stock racer Rich Killian, from Orland Park, Ill., 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 Engineering” 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 30thbetween 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.
