Pat: I certainly agree with you with respect to a documented chain of
ownership to determine if there is a genuine car....but differ on your
analogy on the Abe Lincoln's ax story and the cherry tree.
Maybe in Alabama (aka the Heart of Dixie) ... the Southern version of the "
chopping down of the cherry tree" depicts Abe Lincoln in the staring
role...but I do believe that by the actual Yankee version....George
Washington.. he be the real ax man! That damn War between the
States....always seems to cloud history up a bit!
Good to see you again at VIR! Say "hey" to all my friends in Montgomery, ya
hear?

Of course it was. If he bought it from Abe Lincoln.
But then would it still be Abe Lincoln's axe if he sold it?
Of course it would.
The difference between axes and race cars is the documentation. Cars
usually transfer on bills of sale or sometimes titles. Parts don't. If you
buy parts of a car and make a car so can someone else.
If you buy a car and have a documented chain of ownership you have the right
to claim the history.
Now if Abe sold six axes and gave six bills of sale, we could have a hell of
a discussion about who had the axe he used to chop down the cherry tree.
