Laney bought the car, which was being sold in Marina Del Ray, Calif., for $20,000 and surprised his father, Walter, with the discovery.

"I think it's great. It's just unbelievable after all these years, you know," said Walter Laney.

Brian Laney said it was "unbelievable" to have the car back.

"Couple little marks on it. Needs a little work yet, but it still looks real good for as long as it's been gone," he said.
