I suppose that the insurance company got the title for wreck and the prior owner really had no right to see the VIN on a bill of sale.

In the registry (which by the way I did upgrade to the latest Cobra registries last week), the car created from the junkyard wreck is now considered CSX2136 again, while the car created from the bill of sale is now considered CSX2196R.

So how did the car restored from the wreck get its VIN back? Was the wreck's title purchased from the insurance company? Or did something else happen? Perhaps a court case?

I understand legal ownership of the car was acquired through the insurance company. And the clone was generously awarded the VIN CSX 2136R. It never should have been.
