I have a really hard time understanding why so many people think the Mosler was the goal of this crime. There were 200 of these cars made. You can't take it to a chop shop and make money on the parts because there is no market for the parts. You can't sell it on the black market because so few come up on the market (black or legit) it would be know instantaneously that it was the one recently stolen in an infamous crime. What ordinary psychopathic violent felon wants to invest all the time it would take to see any financial gain from taking the car?
As for JW wanting it, yes he may have. (And then again, maybe not, there are much more suitable cars out there for racing than the street adapted model of the Mosler which never made a great street car nor was suitable to race, which is why only 200 sold because no one wanted it) but do I believe he is stupid enough to think that he could have it - um, it's a Mosler, right? The Mosler is a bit... Conspicuous.
As for all the questions about the registration, it may not be registered. If SS was only interested in it as an investment, or an occasional racing car, no need to have it registered. He probably towed it to races and the shop, and did not bother to register it for street driving.
And, as for towing a car without damaging it and without a key.... Anyone who lives in a city knows they can and will tow any car without a key. When a car is towed, they have a number of ways to deal with a car being "in gear". Number one, don't tow it with the drive wheels on the ground. number two, flat bed it. number three, burn the gears. number four get a locksmith to cut a new key!!!
