Default Re: 69 Z28 Sold for $112,000

Keep in mind that the number one factor behind something like the B-J auction is MAKING MONEY and we ALL love to make money, right? I sure do. Yes, the B-J folks look at a car and try to spot possible gaps in its credibility but if it's not obvious or easily proven that a car is a fake (or "incorrect" etc.) then it rolls across the stage. Mr. Jackson, in his defense, would probably tell you that he is more interested in someone getting "the car of their dreams" (and thus, a sales comission) than tossing out all the 'questionable' cars. Auctions are about EMOTION and MONEY--mainly MONEY.

Heck, if I won the Powerball I'd be down there next year with the Big Dogs and I'd probably drop more than $170,000 for that orange Hemi Superbird! I'd be like that guy who bought all four of the Callaway Corvettes for over $600,000! That'd be really fun to do, especially if money was no object. I'd be buyin' cars and high-rollin' and all those good looking women with the plastic surgery would be checkin' me out and...and...

Okay, back to reality.
