The stolen Mustang. (Handout / February 5, 2009)

The car was stolen from a detached garage one early evening in January. The thieves, police said, took the classic 1966 Ford Mustang, placed it on a red flatbed truck and hauled it away.

Suffolk police are asking for help in finding the '60s Pony car.

Police said the theft occurred at 8:45 p.m. on Jan. 3 in Selden. The car is a blue Mustang coupe with a white top.

Police describe the suspects as two men -- one, in his 40s, with a thin build, long hair and a mustache; the second, in his 30s, bald with a stocky build and wearing a black leather coat. A white van was also seen leaving the scene of the theft.
