Will the live broadcast of the Barrett-Jackson Auction be on Speedvision on Thursday? What time? Thanks!

Tony

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Yes! It is on at 9:00 PM EST (I think that would be 6:00 your time?)

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Would be interesting to pull the heater box and the cowl panel and then see who has the real #69.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Charley,
This is how cars get a bad name, but not this time, not this one. Here is the deal. I just spoke with the owner of the car, not the Lotus Dealership, but the owner Tommy. The mutt on the east coast did not have a #66 car, he had a title that he had bought somewhere, somehow. He jumped on a plane and went out west and by manipulating the police he led them to believe his car had been stolen and he came to get it. Didnt work. While it is still being resolved, the fact remains that the owner has the factual documented background on his car all the way back to new from Hoffmans Chevrolet. The previous owner had the car fifteen years. It is no secret where these cars are at, if it was actually stolen why did this mutt wait until now to claim his so-called car instead of anytime in years prior? My guess is because it had been reported on the internet that for the first time since new the car was in the hands of a dealer, thereby it would not be such a personal issue to obtain the car illeagaly and imorally by producing a bogus title. Maybe the 400 to 500K figure being talked about was enough for him to finally grow a set of nuts, who knows, but it aint working and this car should not have to suffer the speculation that this type of crap generates. Sounds like an ass whippin is in order to me. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Mo if thats the case I would imagine the fellow presenting the old title has made a false police report.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Thanks Rita! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Bel Air,
False police report amoung other things I would guess. What goes around comes around, I would think he will bite the bullet on this one.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Here are some links to photos of the #66 car of this discussion, it is really a nice example, I have seen many of the others as comparison, this car is as nice as any I have seen. (No Kevin H., I havent seen yours since the resto was done) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif It is funny that the east coast fellow told me he had the #66 in storage, yet now all of a sudden he only has a title. Can anyone say "Titles Unlimited" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Actually the bozo would be facing a variety of Federal charges including but not limited to the following:
1) Conspiracy to commit ITSP (interstate transportation of stolen motor vehicle) =5 year felony
2) ITSP=10 year felony
3) Wire Fraud (because he obviously used a telephone any one point during this whole scheme) =20 year felony
4) Mail Fraud (if he used any type of mailing systen USPS, Fedex UPS) =20 year felony
5) probably Obstruction of Justice (when you lie to a Federal Investigator it's a felony) as no doubt with this kind of $$$ at issue and interstate travel involved, the Feds will be in on it. = 5 year felony

and assorted local charges such as false swearing, filing a false police report. = a couple extra years for good measure.

They should definitely make an example of this guy. Especially to show that the law is at work at these big high dollar auctions. I bet Barrett-Jackson will be pushing for a Federal investigation just to get the good will/publicity from this. -NJSteve

Hey Motown, is that Peter Klut(Legendary Motorcars & Dream Car Garage) standing in the background of picture 3? Did they have this car at one point in time?

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Jeff,
They were there but not for #66. They came down to deliver the 69 BM LS7 to the owner who was there with the 69 Yenko Nova. The LS7 was parked outside the gate as plans were not made to have it included in the display.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

No question in my mind, it would be this one.

426 1969 CHEVROLET CAMARO COPO COUPE NO RESERVE
Owned by Ed Cunneen.

$100,000 would get me started on the bidding, but it wouldn't get me very far!

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

I would have to have either #426.1, 69 COPO Chevelle, or # 396, 68 Chevelle SS396 L89 Convertible. I might have to add a couple dollars.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Here you go Steve.... I have a different photo but not quite appropriate.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Well lets see...now we have a car in which Charleys ass was in the seat....that s sure to hurt the value...

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Charley...try to stay away from #674...and where did that COPO plate come from on the Monaco Chevelle ???

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

After seeing that car in my showroom for over 9 years, it pains my butt to see Charley sitting in it to. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...arleySucks.gif That is one car I regret selling. It was joined by my Blue 71 Hemi 4 speed convertible for a good part of a year before I sold it. But keeping both would've prevented me from chasing other cars I was seeking. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

I don't think they are owned by Ed. I think they are verified as COPOs by Ed...

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Thats not Charley in that Cuda,.thats a Cardboard lifesize cutout.
Sorta like the person who steals a lawn Nome from a neighbor,and Photographs it all over the world at Various places.
I have seen Charley standing next to Sudaam also. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Hey guys, on the topic of Barrett-Jackson, what's the deal with this 68 Chevelle L89 ragtop? Is this for real?

http://www.barrett-jackson.com/event....asp?id=175030

I noticed a few strange things, like the front fender seems to be a different shade than the doors, and the paint appears to need a buff, and the back of the hood sticks up. It says a 1,000 point show winner, is this true? Is this truly a 1 of 5 car?

We Pontiac Geeks want to know... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

I think the 69/70 steering wheel in it adds 400 extra points. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Isn't that Willard Havens L78 Chevelle?

The Cuda still looks nice after all these years. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it hasn't been touched since I restored it back in 86.

Between SUPERCARS and I, we can start a nice support group for former owners of BS27R1B396774. I guess we should also invite Bill S in Wisconson who sold me the car in 85 for $25K.

But hey, whenever I feel semi down about selling it I can look in the garage at this:

That must be why you still have it shown in your collection on your web site. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Ha-Ha, that is true, as well as procrastination. Ask Dave if he'd prefer to have me take it off my web site, or if he'd prefer to sell it back to me so I could leave it on there. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif That's what happened with my Blue 69 Baldwin Motion Camaro, after it went to Kevin H, then to Steve S, and then back to me. This was without us having removed that picture too.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Charley, maybe it's time Dave started a website of his own. If he's interested, I can help out.

Won't make it to B-J this year. If you see Reggie, remind him I haven't received my baseball yet.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

i think the red 69 nova in the background would take top dollar, only 7 left. Maybe i should attend and overnight my #13 cortez silver ZL1 and the 69 Yenko Nova, oh yeah thats right no one overnights cars, and people thought these cars were going down????

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

There was no Yenko there when I was there.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Kevin, there are eight 69 Yenko Novas remaining, along with a later conversion car, not 7!

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Marlin, which is the 8th 427 nova? i thought Richardson's was just a 396 tri-power nova.

Just..., https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif We are talikng a 1969 L-78 Nova, complete with 3 deuces and other goodies, from Yenko Chevrolet. IMO, a Yenko SC Nova. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Kevin, 'Just' a 396 Nova? This particular Nova was a modified sYc product, with paperwork, on Vince's list, etc... I believe that Don himself remembered the car, and described it to some folks before he died. Some of the other 7 are also reportedly 'just' 396 cars, amazing what prior owners of those cars remember - and how they all get restored as 427 conversions!

The 396 Harrell Tuned '68 Novas are still Harrell cars right?

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Marlin, I find it kind of interesting when I look at the exterior colors and options of the 9 Yenko Novas known to exist. 2 garnet red, 2 lemans blue, 2 rallye green, 2 fathom green and Brian's special order paint car. And, some with vinyl tops, some without, some L-78s, some transplanted 427s. A nice mixture of colors and options.

Re: Barrett-Jackson Auction Tonight!
 

Tom, since you have seen the info on my car being a 9737 COPO/Yenko dealer traded from Yenko Chevrolet. How do you think it stands up with these Novas? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

[/ QUOTE ]

What info would that be? Even though I am not doubting it to be a non-converted Yenko, I have not seen any concrete proof. And, as with the Gibb Novas, I would consider any such car a supercar. But several folks, including some of your associates, do not consider non-converted cars Yenko SCs. Case in point is Brian Henderson's Nova as well as Rob Richardson's car.

As per "stands up", I am assuming price. Which, the '69 Yenko Novas seem to be in a league of their own, with the last one to change hands for $275,000.00+.
