It will likely depend on the state in which the administration is pending. In Texas, for example, the executor can sell the car (and indeed sign the title) only if (i) the Will gives the executor a power of sale or (ii) the sale is necessary to pay debts of the decedent or expenses of administration. Otherwise, the only action the executor can take is to convey the car to the beneficiaries under the Will.
Report the theft to the police. It is a crime to take and sell things that do not belong to you.
If the executor is in process of selling the car for the estate, I believe it would be proper for them to do that. The executor does not own it but it is their position to disperse the assets.

Yes it does go through the probate process unless ownership of title is in joint names with a right of survivorship as is allowed in some states. If title is in the sole name of the decedent it is an asset of the estate. Title to the automobile has to be transferred by the appropriate documents of sale the state requires when either selling or giving the car to another person. If the owner is deceased, only the executor or administrator may sign the transfer paperwork. This paperwork has to be done whether the auto is being sold out of the estate or given to a beneficiary.
