Motion2, are you saying the car that was at Barrett Jackson is a real car? A former owner wants it back bad enough that he is telling people it is not real? If that is the case why did he not buy it back while it was at BJ? How about filling out your profile so we all know a little about you?

i am saying that the car at barrett jackson, the baldwin that was in the corral had a real letter from joel with his letter head and all. i am also saying that there was a rumor that a former owner wanted it back so bad that yes he was telling people it wasnt so he could get it back. the car didnt go for auction it was in the corral.

Okay, so the guy who owns it now and has a letter from Joel Rosen is supposed to buy a story that the car isn't real after all? If I was the current owner I'd be reluctant as h_ll to part with the car under these circumstances. I'd probably reconfirm the car's pedigree with Joel Rosen and put the rumors to rest. But that's just me.

And yes, I understand that this is commenting on a rumor. It just has a fishy smell to it.

I thought LV bought this car when it was at auction last year and determined through NICB and previous owners that it was never near Long Island and the auction company took it back. I know this was discussed on the board a while back.

-----Unless the car did sell at B-J,it is still held by the same California dealer that bought it from Kruse. He told me that because of a dispute with the original owner who wanted it back,that Kruse had to buy it back from the individual they sold it to. At that point Dean K had just bought back his company from E-bay,and sold the car cheap to wash his hands of it. According to this dealer,Joel wants nothing to do with this car or its paperwork now as he has been threatened with litigation if he says it is an original car by the original owner who was willing to lie about the cars history just to get it back.
-----All of this seems pretty far-fetched,I agree,but Im just reporting what I was told. The dealer involved here is well known and has a good reputation.........Bill S
