Mike McCluskey doesn't serve as the Cobra Police, as he runs a restoration shop and it's not his duty to vet every car that enters it. Similarly, the registrar is not charged with the responsibility of filling the police role, either, especially in a situation where all the supporting facts have not been revealed. That function remains the responsibility of those individuals who believe they have a vested interest in protecting the rights of ownership, such as they may be, to a given VIN and, as a result, the true history of the vehicle in question. The registry states clearly that there are problems with CSX 3016, and that two different threads of history exist on the car's supposed remains. That covers details the registrar can support with documentation, and it should be sufficient to warn potential buyers from over-spending on the car. One can reasonably anticipate legal action to settle the rightful claims to ownership of the legitimate car at some point in the future.
