Yep, what cars are stolen most are the most common cars, not the most desirable/rare. It's probably much faster and easier money to steal a car and part it out than it is to deal in a rare car or it's parts. You can probably sell the fenders, lights, doors to a Pontiac Grand Am or Honda Civic to any one of thousands of places in a big city, but there probably aren't many shops that need 911 fenders, etc....

Just look at Texas.

Texas

1. 1994 Chevrolet Full Size C/K 1500 Pickup
2. 1997 Ford F150 Series
3. 1996 Honda Accord
4. 2003 Dodge Ram Pickup
5. 2000 Honda Civic
6. 1994 Chevrolet Suburban
7. 1990 Toyota Camry
8. 1994 GMC Full Size C/K 1500 Pickup
9. 1997 Ford Taurus
10. 2002 Ford Explorer

What do we have a lot of here in Texas, yep, you guessed it, lots of trucks.
