After 35 Years, Stolen Mustang Returns To Owner

A Los Angeles publisher has gotten his stolen Mustang back--35 years later.

LA Daily News publisher Jack Klunder had the 1966 Mustang bought by his father stolen from a college parking lot in 1974. Late last year, the California Highway Patrol called him to report they'd found it.

"They promised me they'd call if they found it," Jack says. "But that was in 1974."

The Klunders headed to the impound lot, where they found the car in pretty bad shape. Klunder nearly gave the car back to the previous owner, who was unaware it had ever been stolen, but he decided he'd keep it. He turned the car over to his friend, who owned a body shop. About two weeks ago, the completely restored 1966 Mustang came home to Klunder's driveway.
