Let's revisit what makes an "air-car:" We use this term when someone literally creates a car "out of thin air," i.e. when they have no legal claim to the VIN. In the case of CSX 2049, when the remains of the original chassis were stolen, the opportunity to reuse the original chassis with the original VIN-stamping was, obviously, taken away from the legal owner improperly. Preserving the right to reconstruct a car using the VIN that was stolen was the basis of the CA court case. In a situation such as this, there is really no alternative.
