The other side of the story in the registry has the crashed 3016 converted to a stock car with a mid-thirties Ford car body, which was sold to some unnamed friend who's relatives held onto the remains of the car. He knew where it was until about 1994 and the parts included the right shock tower at that time. The car we have been talking about with the 3016 shock tower was purchased by Park in 1986, so that would contradict the other story, unless someone traveled forward in time to some point after 1994 to get the shock tower and bring it back to some point prior to 1986 to weld it into the street car with the unknown serial number.

Just taking a guess, could it be that Bacon had a wrecked street car without a title, bought the title to 3106 (which was also a wreck at the time) and had someone make up a brand new shiny right front shock tower that was supposed to read 3106, but the person making up the new shock tower accidentally stamped it as 3016?
