Sucks for the guy that bought it. Does he get his money back from the lady?

Does she know? Did her son steal it and die off or something?

Well I guess they are going to be questioning the lay, the car sat in her yard for about half the time it was missing.

Glad the guy got his car back that's a great to hear stories like this.

I've always wondered what happens when something like this goes down.

Didn't something kind of similar happen recently with a woman getting her honda or acura stolen, and the cops busted some place and found it with all kind of upgrades thrown on to it? I remember her getting the car back with all the new stuff on it still.

Hopefully the upgrades were done by the old owner and not the new one who was trying to register it. He would more than likely get screwed out of it.

I heard of a similar story about a guy and an old truck. Got it back 20 yrs later all restored and cherried out.

That's cool, but now I clicked on another story on the side and am disturbed.

The "butt drag" is a widely-used wrestling move that involves grabbing a rival's butt cheek and putting fingers in the anus to get leverage, the Fresno Bee reported.

I bet he was very emotional, glad to hear that someone found his car after 27 yrs.
He was 22 when he had it.
Probably must have been his first car. Memories. Great find OP.
