Barrett Jackson Auction

[JRSully]

I do believe that 70 Nova L89 is a clone too

[Jeff H]

It seems like BJ now has a reputation for helping sell clones for big money.

Correct me if im wrong , but is'nt it a common practice for "questionable" car's to be sold at auction?. Is it becouse you don't have as much time to authenticate the car, or maybe your hoping to pass the your ride off to the clueless?. Once you buy a car from the auction weather it's real or not, your stuck with it and you have no recourse to get your money back. What about liens on the cars?, do'es the auction pay for any liens that pop up?. Just curious how it works in the states

Displaying there as a vendor isn't cheap either!!
Get a load of what it costs to display at the Scottsdale auction:

I'm still happy that the company I work for has decided to 'pony up' for space this year

It'll be cool to spend 5 days there...and get paid for it!

Hey Bill...are you still planning on coming?

Yes, but all I'll have money for is a hot dog and a coke...

[Xplantdad]

Are you looking for a "matching numbers" hot dog and coke?
I think that there may be 2 or 3 at this January's auction...

Seriously, it'll be cool to finally meet you! We'll definitely have to do the Pavillions Cruise, and hopefully my brother will be in town, so we can take the Camaro out for a spin. Either way, I'll take you to go "check it out"!

I should be getting final space information sometime this week. We asked for space inside the main tent (where the actual auction is held) but it's on a first come, first served basis. Since our company has exhibited there in the past, we have a good chance of getting a great vendor space! No matter what...we'll be there!

I'll keep you updated.

Also, check out the vintage photo of some "kid" around '81, who was helping a bunch during the initial engine pull for detailing purposes...

The only way to justify the prices paid for some of these clones is if the bidder didn't know it was a clone. BJ may be counting on owners being too embarrased by their mistake to make a huge issue of it. I hope this isn't the case. I would hope someone who were ripped off would take advantage of sites like this and make public their side of the story. Bad publicity would make BJ sit up and take notice quickly.

[Canucklehead]

Ya but what recourse does a buyer have if he is duped by some jerkweed at one of these auction. Really what is the auction house going to do, it's buyer beware. So when someone gets "stuck" with one of these cars he just moves it to the next auction. It seems that BJ is where they all end up from the past years build up becouse thats their best chance on getting their money back. I would think that if this starts getting carried away and people start getting to know BJ is like that, they would do something about it. Also if a guy was too embaressed about what happened i don't think he wants to come here and tell his story so his car will be branded, but who knows, depends on the person i guess. Sure would like to know who thes conmen are so they can be branded.

If I remember my stories correctly, there was an issue with a Motion car in the last year sold through BJ. They had marketed it as a true Motion car. After it was sold at auction the veracity of it being a true Motion came into question. If I have my story straight they ended up buying back the car from the fellow who bought it at auction.

I think for their reputation alone, if they advertise a car as a true car they will stand behind it.

Does anyone one recall the details of this transaction?

[Stuart Adams]

The bidding of some of these cars is crazy. I was just talking to my friend Jerry Ketchum and he said on year this guy was bidding an incredible amount for this T bird and Jerry leaned over politely and said why so much, he said I just met this lady and she likes the color!!! More money than brains sometimes.
