Southlake man recovers exotic car reported stolen nearly 42 years ago

Michael Ainsworth/Staff Photographer Bob Russell, shown with wife, Cyndy, plans to restore his car stolen more than 40 years ago. This was hardly a joyride for Bob Russell.

But nearly 42 years after someone stole his 1967 Austin Healey 3000 from a Philadelphia apartment complex, the Southlake sleuth is back in the driver’s seat.

“That was quite the knockdown-dragout,” Russell said of the decades-long search that finally turned up his car."

I still have the serial numbers on some guns stolen from me back if 1976. Perhaps I need to start checking gun sales sites.-Tyr

How does that happen, A car is reported stolen and the VIN is placed in a database and this thing gets sold with THAT VIN NUMBER!! WOW just WOW says a lot about or police and how hard they look for stolen property!!!

I can understand his persistence to get it back. I know that I have posted more than once here that that is my absolute favorite car. The sweet memories!
