This story is defiantly one for the weird files!
A mint-condition Corvette stolen from a San Diego car dealership 23 years
ago has sold on eBay for the original sticker price -- with the original sales
sticker still on the window.
The cherry-red 1989 convertible, with only 67 miles on the odometer, was
won Sunday on eBay by Mike Robertson, a Newport Beach advertising executive.
It's to be delivered Monday.
According to reports, an 'Irish immigrant' was 'coerced by gangsters' to
steal a brand new Corvette 23 years ago and then put it in storage where it ran
up a $70,000 bill. Corky Rice recently sold the car on eBay
Police recovered the Corvette in September in a San Diego self-storage
unit after the suspected thief stopped paying the monthly fee.
He'd paid out about $70,000 over the years.
Authorities say man was cooperative and didn't charge him.
