She bought the car for $800 in 1986 when she was a teenager. A year later, it was stolen outside her Salinas apartment.

Police say the vehicle was found at the Salinas Department of Motor Vehicles in September when a man tried to register the car he had for 23 years. Authorities are investigating whether the man knew it was stolen.

Alsip got the car back Monday and plans to have some work done on it. She'll also install personalized license plates saying "LNDAZ67."
