Man Finds Stolen Car on eBay 42 Years Later

EAST LA (KTLA) -- A persistent man whose car was stolen in Philadelphia found it online and across the country -- four decades later.

Robert Russell, who now lives in Texas, had his 1967 Austin Healey stolen when he lived in Philadelphia in 1970.

Russell never gave up looking for the car and continued his search, scouring the internet.

In May, with his original certificate of title, Russell was able to match the vehicle identification number on a car being sold on eBay from East L.A. to his Austin Healey.
