My father-in-law now either wants car back or money for it. However, the divorce decree specifically stated this car was to be mine.

If this was a gift to both of you during your marriage - not money loaned, etc - then it became a marital asset for distribution and your father in law has no right to ask for the car nor money for it. Good luck.
