Default Re: 71 Hemi GTX & 70 440/6 Coronet vert at BJ

Well this proves my opinion that most BJ buyers don't want OE, they want shiny. These two cars weren't paint-by-numbers production vehicles, difficult for most inspectors to validate as original and correct. Brett's collection also did not do a good job of telling the story of the cars where the cars were displayed. The comments I overheard were picking the cars apart for not having the right options or incorrect details under the hood. Mopars in general have been the red-headed stepchild at BJ. Selling these two as a pair was a gaurantee they they would go "buy one get one". Have you ever seen a BOGO auction lot bring more than if each sold on thier own? This was a case of poor prep, wrong place, and the wrong auction strategy. All a benefit to the buyer.
