All Thai abbots should be able to afford a replica and some maybe an original.

".... the automobile was imported into the country in 2011 and was a donation from a disciple who was living in the US."

Strange thing to "donate".

If it's a serious disciple that person would know that monks and more especially very serious monks cannot accept gifts like this.

Therefore why did the other folks in the story all proceed with registering the car, preparing various official documents including tax documents and proceed to pay the taxes?

Seems to me, amongst other improper stuff, these folk (including lawyers) have an attitude that's it's OK to ignore / bend the law for some folks, including folks who show be setting the examples of pillars of virtue, good morals etc., etc.

Jail the lot of them.
