It's nice to finally see the whole rebody thing come out and into the light. Compare this auction to 5 years ago when everything sold was perfect, original and never questioned. It was the unspeakable. Ya right!
With respect to the green ZL1, it was funny to see Ron Pratt and Rick Hendrick sit on their hands while the car was on stage. They both had this look on their face as if to say "I'm not touching that with a 10 foot pole".
Charley - what was the deal with the black COPO? A few guys have inquired.

Hylton,
If you followed numerous threads here over last few years that were BJ was the topic - overall I think BJ has gotten a fair shake including LOTS of critical commentary where deserved, and some defenders who cleared the record for BJ.
I had enough of the BJ auction scene by 2003 which was the last year I attended.
This year one of the hi points for me was the 2010 Camaro sale to the noted NASCAR Chevrolet sponsored team owner Rick Hendrick who of course is on the big time payroll as a race team owner for client Chevrolet/GM.
Hendrick conviently pays over 300 Large for the first 2010 Camaro with the announcers saying time and time again that "some lucky enthusist was going to get the chance" Perhaps Hendrick is a Camaro Enthusist, however if he is or not the whole thing looks very conflicted out to me.
BJ great to watch on TV but I put it in the same league as pro wrestling just car style, it is entertainment and most of the country has little else to do in the dead of winter so they watch.

I agree with you. This site has always been on the ball. Membership has it's privileges.
My point was that the general public seems to be starting to understand the rebody thing and that at least BJ has begun to announce when cars are rebodies.
