Wesley appeared to be overcome with emotion when his children handed him the registration.

He had sold his beloved Mustang in the early 2000s to pay his wife's mounting medical bills after she was diagnosed with cancer.

His son first spotted the car on Craigslist two years ago but couldn't agree to a price with the owner.

When the car surfaced online again a few weeks ago, he jumped at the opportunity, buying the car with the help of his sister and her boyfriend.
