Ernie... here's the short story (the 'long' one is ugly)..
In 1993, the LA Times (Paul Dean) ran an investigative piece questioning the saga of the completion cars, revealing they were just 'pipes at McCluskey's shop', rather than finished frames and bodies left over from 1965. It seems the cars were titled as 1965 models with duplicate titles issued by CA DMV in 1991-92. Statements made to their authenticity were made under penalty of perjury.
The settlement of the case resulted in the revocation of the paperwork for the 43 cars and the agreement that they would NEVER be titled or registered in the state of California.
