Mr. Motion,
Let me assist you in understanding this matter:
1. The car was not subject to auction. It was in the preexisting car corall. Offers were being accepted. I first looked at the car on Tuesday. And no I would not have bid on this car because I could have purchaced it outright then.
It did attract quite a following all weekend. There was lots of conversation about the car.
2. The letter that appeared to attest that the car was a true motion car on the dash was a photocopy. There ware no indications that the letter was notorized ("afvitavid"??) at all. The only authentication was Joel's signature.
I am gladdened to now know that you are old enough to know quit a bit about these cars. I recently completed the work on Hassett's 1968 Phase 3 L-88 427. It is a fast car. I have driven it. It also has the real paperwork from Joel and I know exactly what that looks like, and so does Joel.
In fact Joel told me at SCR #6 (Pointing at Marks car after he started it) "This is what I want in my Garage".
I will pass on the dictonary comment... Are we done yet??
