great story, the ol guy was clearly in shock !
pretty much mirrors how I found my old XBGT after chasing ghosts for 5 years. Out of the blue one night I googled apollo blue XBGT and there it was, first in the que !! took a couple more years but I finally got her back.

Cool Re: Cool story about a long lost car....
Nice story but was it staged for the cameras
I noticed when he saw the car and started going my god
he hit his chest pocket and it was loud
wonder if he had a microphone in there
but all in all
a very nice story
