I can understand the concern of publishing ID numbers. There are many rare cars that have their ID number published and it would be interesting to know if there are any negatives from this. The Special Collection at Bloomington has the ID numbers of each vehicle along with the owners name in the program each year. The Shelby Registry has the ID number of each vehicle and the owners name published in it. Many times, magazine articles have the ID number in the write-up about the car. Running a title search in my state, Texas, can result in the name and address of the owner of any vehicle. It is public information. This may be the risk of having a registry for supercars. Another risk is getting a fake on the registry, I am sure that there are cars that are not real that may end up on the list. This could actually help promote cars that are not real.
