Rich Tipton had owned his Corvette for about 11 years. He sold it in 1989 because it was not the kind of car he needed for raising a family. The tan Corvette became a pleasant memory and 26 years passed.

Little did he know that the Corvette was still around waiting for him, and had only gained 5000 miles in all those years. Still had the same set of tires that were on it when he sold the car.

He and his daughter were out looking for cars and happened to see it at a car dealer showroom. Rich ran over to it and immediately knew it was his car. They later ran the numbers and confirmed that it was the exact car he had owned. He told his daughter that if he won the Lottery he probably would come back and buy it.

His children all got together and bought the car for his 70th birthday. Rich didn't know they did it nor did his wife. Watch the reaction when he sees the car!
