The Nassau blue convertible with a white top was worth about $2,200 when it was stolen from Chance Mayfield 39 years ago. Today it's worth an estimated $65,000, The (Nashville) Tennessean reported Sunday. Advertisement Mayfield walked out of a bar in Nashville in November 1970 to find the car gone. "That ruined my night," Mayfield, 68, told The Tennessean. The car was traced to Mayfield when a collector who had bought the car tried to register it with the Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles. A routine search of the serial number through the National Insurance Claims Bureau showed the car had been stolen. Although the car had belonged to a number of collectors, no one apparently had ever checked the car against the insurance database, The Tennessean said. Now that a court case with the most recent owner has been resolved, Mayfield said he will take a trailer to Arizona next week to bring his treasured Corvette home.
