As I heard it Fran did not sell to the Harts, car was brokered.

Not necessarily. We are aware that Fran Kress was aware a lawsuit was going on to declare his title to 2049 invalid. Curt Vogt acted as an agent on his behalf but we do not know if he was advised of the ongoing legal wranglings.

If there's a concession that Al Abidin owned 2049 prior to 7/27/'63, and now there's a document implying (strongly) that he still owned what was left of it in 1967, does that put the main topic of this thread - Paul Cunningham's ownership - to rest?

There are still questions asked that have not been answered.

Nothing at all wrong with editing comments as long as it's not done to change the narrative after people respond to the original post.

Interesting, so what is on the front side of the note?

From the back side of the note, it looks like Al Abidin wanted his car repaired. Is it possible that the Abidin family got sticker shock at the estimated repair cost and Hasselrig just offerred to buy the car from them to part out? In which case Hasselrig could have gotten the title legally?

Perhaps Al had put away some money over the 3 years to repair his Cobra, but then upon seeing the what the real repair cost would be, decided it would be far cheaper to buy another used Cobra or some other car.

There is no bill of sale and there is not paperwork in the court case that indicates a transfer of ownership has taken place.
OK, so Hasselrig is borrowing $400 on March 8th and promising to fix "Al's car" on or prior to March 25th. If that is the case, I would think the "Al's car" that needs to be fixed is unlikely to be his Cobra. Unless someone with restoration or body shop experience might be able to verify that it would be possible to repair the Cobra in that shape in 17 days? Perhap Al's car was a another different car he damaged, maybe his Edsel Stationwagon, which just needed a new fender after the mishap backing out of the family garage.

It would seem that if Hasselrig was intending to repair the Cobra, he would not be borrowing $400 from Ann, but requiring a downpayment of many thousand dollars from the Abidin family to source a new body and many other items from either AC cars and/or SAI. And then waiting many months for delivery of the body to arrive from England.

Could it be that the Abidin family were using the opportunity for Hasselrig to buy the wrecked Cobra from them for $400 as an incentive to get Hasselrig to quickly repair Al's other car?
