LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Texas man whose prized sports car was stolen 42 years ago recovered the vehicle in California after spotting it on eBay, authorities said Sunday. Robert Russell told the Los Angeles County sheriff's officials that he had never given up searching for the 1967 Austin-Healey after it was stolen from his Philadelphia home in 1970. The 66-year-old retired sales manager from Southlake told the Dallas Morning News (Southlake man recovers exotic car reported stolen nearly 42 years ago | Dallas-Fort Worth Communities - News for Dallas, Texas - The Dallas Morning News ) he paid a friend $3000 for the car.
