The best part of the story is that the previous owners had done a full customization.

I had a 1963 Ford Galaxy stolen, after the restoration...
11 years later it was recovered, in a barn, full of chickens. I cried.

Great ending to a story. Glad the old guy got it back and with it being restored so he can enjoy it.

That's something isn't it? me and my dad were just talking about this same story the other day. A member in our Car Club had his 36 ford which was unfinished at the time inside a covered trailer, it was stolen, trailer with car inside it. about a year later he got it back. It's a long story, but in short... A great ending.

That guy lives in my neck of the woods, I'm sure I will see it at the shows around here.

This part made me instantly angry, then I felt better, but still a bit angry that they even thought to bring this up for a second: "He said the DMV notified him that he is liable for 30 years of registration fees, but then backed off that claim."

I hope that part was a joke that the owner didn't "get."

Yeah ,I thought that was funky, I thought after five or six years it went off the DMV records.
