Longtime $2000 Challenge competitor Calvin Nelson had his Ford F-250 and white enclosed trailer–with his Studebaker Lark inside–stolen last night in Florence, South Carolina.


If you see the truck, trailer and/or Studebaker, please call the police.

That's a really terrible cap to the event. I'm hoping it is recovered quickly and intact. Here's also hoping Calvin makes it home safely!

Unfortunately, that era of Super Duty is one of the easiest trucks to steal there is.

Good luck with the recovery.  That really sucks.

Does anyone have a picture of the trailer?  That's probably what will pop up on marketplace first besides the camera equipment and tools.

trailer photo is below, not the best but better than nothing. upper left hand corner there are the numbers "9270." I have been looking on marketplace, offerup, and craiglist since yesterday. so far, no signs of anything. Below is a gofund me for any donations for the nelsons. We all want to keep hope that things will turn up but in the event they dont, insurance is only going to cover a fraction of what they lost. Anything is helpful, even if its just sharing the link.
