1970 LS6 Convertible

[Ls6 Ragtop]

Hey Rick,
I saw that and caught that already. Thanks for the response.
I was more curious if anybody might have a close up pic or looked at it closely as the number of clones with fake paperwork seems to be growing fairly rapidly.

Two questions regarding a certain Portland, OR based creator of popular Camaro, Chevelle, Nova muscle.........

1) Are the bidders pass and all fine print boilerplate, protecting the seller against any any/all created cars and created paperwork. If so many people believe that misc G.M muscle is being "created" by a known party, why isnt some one steping in to end this practice at B/J.

2) Could there also be a likely scenario, where the seller is bidding up and buying his own cars, so as to increase market interest, and then selling same car later at another auction or privately.
If this was the case, how would the seller circumvent the B/J fees ????????

Chuck:
BJ has no real way to police fake or misrepresented cars. Even with "some" dealers having a reputation for it and even having been to court and lost, they keep selling crap. Your scenerio #2 really doesn't work with 18% total commission due if you bought your own. BJ doesn't give up their commission. Does it happen that an agent for the seller buys the car back. Yes. Is it forbidden in the contract. Yes.

[P.J.]

the people selling some of these cars dont know if the car is legit.as far as they know the car they purchased is the car they are selling.
BJ should hire a pro to advise him on the discrepancies before the sale and make that info available to the seller.
that way BJ wont be describing fake cars for sale.
What would that cost him.
I am sure it wont cost him as much as his reputation.

There is and was one bought new in my town in Nova Scotia.It has Canadian docs but the car if I recall correctly was built in the US and shipped to Canada when new.
I street raced it many times in the late 70's when the original owner had it. By far the nicest 70 chevelle I have seen.Code 28 I think blue, white stripes with a white top and white bucket interior.He destroyed the engine in about 1980 , removed it and left the car sit in the driveway for probally 15 plus years. I tried to buy it many times but it was never for sale.When it was sold it was very very rusty and the guy that bought it would not spend any money on it putting patch panels on it and a 427 out of a dump truck.
I still see it from time to time and it looks OK from 100 feet but not the car it was or could be.

It was in fact built in the US.
