Guys gets stolen car back after 37 yrs!

[T Bell]

in the aftermath of a divorce. I think he didn't want his wife to have that car. Think about it, how could a car that rare still stay in one piece if it wasn't being driven. If I was a thief I wouldn't keep it around. That thing would be in a bazillion pieces. The motor, the trans, the hood. All of it.

Wow. I think he should buy some lotto tickets.

Great end to anyone's nightmare.

How does that work? I mean after the insurance co cuts you the check? Does he have to pay the settlement back?

He didn't have insurance to cover theft.

So no one tried to register it for 37 years? I sure wish that car could talk.

One sorry guy is of course the Swede who bought it and now got it pounded by the US Customs. $10000 down the drain. BTW isn't that very low for a car like that?

This has happened before, the US Customs find cars destined for export that have been stolen many many years ago. The buyer must of course check this before finalizing the deal. According to the article the seller wasn't aware of it either.

So the question is, where has it been for 37 years. Race track?
