I've spoken with the owner of #11 many times, I would say yes.

Regarding #11, from what I've been told by the owner's brother - yes, it is currently titled in OH.

Several years ago a bunch of us were congregating at my trailer in the Holiday Inn parking lot at the SCR, and a guy had looked out his window and saw my Deuce fender inside the trailer. He proceeds to come outside and we got to talking. He was from OH and is a lawyer for MTD Equipment who was in town for a legal case. He tells us that his brother has had a silver ZL1 for decades, and then says the car was sold new at Merollis! We mentioned the 'stolen cars' story, but he was sure that his brother's car had a clear title. Talk about a small world!

I remember that conversation well...I even offered to give him a lift back home if he wanted to stay the weekend. I spoke to the owner (his brother) about this same story this past summer. He laughed and said yep, that's my brother. Small world indeed...

So how does the person in Canada who applied for title on the 5 cars fit into this?

It doesn't fit very well.

X2 what Big said here, I know the owner also, car has been off the radar since about the mid 70's ? From what I recall being told.
So if they ever clone #11 that might prove interesting.

LOL [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img] apparently someone in Canada took it upon themselves to somehow create fake docs and register these stolen cars in Canada.... I think they call them 'air' cars in the Ferrari world if I remember correctly.... correct me if I am wrong.

there is a thread posted here about them.

I would believe that's why we refer to these as stories ... maybe tall tales would be a better description. TAZ
