Coren further stated in his letter (see my post, #55) that Abiden is shown as the original owner, having purchased 2049 in 1963 and sold it in 1967. Some of his dates and details are off, but he apparently located the same printed DMV records I have presented previously.

Did Lance Coren provide any copies of documents from his "hand-search" of government records that would indicate that Ann Abiden was the original owner or how she purchased the car from Hi Performance Motors on 11/2/62 which is prior to the date that the car was billed to Shelby American, 11/13/62 (from the 4th edition registry).
From reading 4th edition of the registry, it seems that Harry S and Peter Rothschild were the original owners. So at the time of the 4th editition registry you did not believe that Ann was the original owner as stated in Lance Coren's letter.
