Did Lance admit that he surrendered his phony CA title to Lanse Hasselrig because the courts made it clear he, not Coren, was the legitimate owner? Probably not. I am aware that Lance Coren saw the remains of Hasselrig's Cobra as well as the 2049 VIN on it at an early SAAC convention, after it had been stolen by the manager of the storage facility where Hasselrig left it. And he was angry, as it cast a shadow on the claim Coren had made that he owned the car. Please do not expect me to accept anything Mr. Coren says, as I have already been down that road way too many times.

I was just thinking about Lynn Park's CSX 2259 replica because that car was created apparently with some left over cut up pieces of the frame allegedly removed from the Shelby dumpster. And I would assume that there was no title to create the car with. I was thinking that would be similar to the case of the CSX 2049 air car in Europe as it was based on a cut up original frame and an illegitimate title.
Keep in mind that the 2018 registry classifies Lynn Park's CSX2259 "as a vintage racer that mimics the original 2259 in appearance and features".
So anyway, I took a glance at my 2018 registry. And interestingly "Lance S Coren" purchased the unfinished CSX 2259 replica from Lynn Park in 1983 and sold it back to Lynn Park in 1987.
And it occurred to me, is that the same Lance Coren mentioned in this thread? Interesting. Could it be that this Lance Coren fellow was trying to somehow create an legitimate title for CSX 2259 to attach it to the replica CSX 2259 to turn it into a real CSX 2259? Maybe when he failed to create a title through some slight of hand he sold the unfinished car back to Lynn because Coren realized the car would never be considered the "real" 2259? That is just speculation on my part, but if Coren tried to create a "real" CSX 2049 in the past, perhaps he also tried to create a "real" CSX 2259 in the past as well.
