I don't know that anyone has confirmed any part on the car came from the original CSX3016? I'd suggest anyone interested should do their due diligence.

That's true, I may be giving it a nod towards "original"more than I should but on the other hand, it would be pretty hard to prove it's not from the original unless those parts suddenly appeared.

Larry - People who have been involved in uncovering the original car remains and history know that the shock tower bracket on the car being sold in Syosset is not the original and there is no legitimate paperwork assigning ownership of the CSX3016 chassis number to that car. There are ownership trail affidavits of the real 3016 back to new and the person who had it in his back yard for decades has attested in one that he never sold anything off the car. Anyone who may be interested in the car being offered in Syosset should at least be warned, especially since the rightful owner of the real car is rebuilding/restoring it

Totally agree that any potential buyer needs to understand the situation with the car. What you are saying is not what is reflected in the registry though, so how would a potential buyer find out the truth about the car?

The last registry did alert people to an undesirable situation with the Syosset car relative to what had been documented in the earlier registries. There is no reference to documentation assigning the right to ownership of the 3016 chassis number to that car. It was even stated in the '08 edition how the Syosset car was previously identified as 3106. Most people don't need more info than that to stay away from the car. However, as is the case with each edition of the registry, additional information keeps coming in. It has also been difficult for people to step forward with pertinent info into the threat of potential litigation. The owner of the real car has what he has and that has been enough for him. I'm sure if potential buyers contact Ned he will warn them of getting involved with the car for sale.
