WOW! That is a long time! I would be pissed to just be getting it back after 37 years. I bet that guy is happy, because its worth alot more now than what he originally paid for it.

It's a shame they painted it and changed the interior. I guess you can call that a case of good karma.

Pretty cool that he got the car back. The collector must be pissed that he's losing his car and not getting anything lol, but atleast the original owner got it back.
