I lost a 1967 Corvette Stingray convertible to a fire in 1971. Still kick m self for not immediately replacing it for the $3,000 it was worth then. I actually somegimes still dream about that little yellow car with the black rag top.

Good and happy tale.
I prefer the Cougar to the Mustang but that is just me.

Yep. Smiles all around. She got her car back. Why the other two are smiling I’ll let you guess.

Hmm
three people posed in front of an old Mustang
huh
look at that big red bow on the antenna
looks like a cop shoulder patch in the center
dang
aluminum slots all around
that's a blast from the past alright
Then I check out the comments and realize I'm apparently the only guy here who noticed the bow and the "mags." Maybe I need to be taking some supplements.

Well, that car is now worth about $20,000.00 - nice surprise.
I wish I could get my ‘69 Camaro, ‘69 Firebird, 67 Nova, 71 Malibu or ‘72 Mustang back... problem is, I sold them. :(

My condolences. Working on a ‘73 T-top after my ‘65 Stang convertible was stolen. Memories.

If you look closely you will see there are 2 big Peterbilts in the background.

Yeah, and as the story says,
"Officer Chris Menchen, who did the investigation and recovered the vehicle, said the man said he bought it from a storage and had just come around to registering the vehicle. Officials are still investigating whether or not he knew it was stolen."
Bet he did know. Why else wait 23 years to make your "ownership" official?
To: Brother Cracker
It is safe to say she would have sold it for next to nothing in the early 1990s. It was a beater. Only the convertibles had real value then. Now she wins it back, restored.
