This episode is concrete proof of the importance of the De Tomaso registry. 
  An amazing number of people have chosen to withhold the information on 
their cars from the registry; this then makes them vulnurable to having crooks 
trying to sell their cars out from under them.   

In this case, questions were raised about the validity of this E-bay 
auction--one quick trip to the De Tomaso registry enabled people to see the true 
story behind this car.

Although I can understand the irratation that some people feel towards 
Chuck's attitude of not allowing anybody to view the registry unless they have 
first contributed something (I personal find that policy annoying 
myself--what about the guy in the middle of nowhere, who has no access to Panteras, but 
wants to find a Pantera for sale?), nevertheless, I would never allow that 
irritation to prevent me from contributing information on my own car--and I 
routinely contribute photos of other cars as well, for everyone's benefit.
