Russo and Steele auction

[CamarosRus]

I fully expect this post to dissappear.............

Regarding both B/J and R/S I am interested in learning why so many people condone fabricated clones, with misc alledged "documentation" being passed off as original and survivors.

Why do most people turn a blind eye on cars that are obvious repaints, incorrect "original" parts and have Photoshop documentation........

I can understand the auctioneers greed, the sellers greed....but to hear the Speed Channel announcers tout the low milage, the documentation, and ALL the originality, is just so upsetting to me, knowing otherwise.
Why isnt there litagation and public outcry to hold down some, if not all of these sellers..........

I am very sorry to hear anyone takes a hit like that. Sure, you are selling the car to feed hungry kids. I believe that people can fall on hard times and have to sell their prized possesion. That sucks.

I do not believe I can sign a contract that says $100,000.00
when I MUST HAVE $140,000.00.

I can't hang around for five days and not check my contract.

I can't go to the block without my contract !!

As far as the buyer (dealer) being a man of his word, ..... please ! He sells used cars!! He is one of the many who take advantage of persons in this hobby (though he bought the car legally and fairly).
This is a sad fact of life.

This situation does not appear to be the auction house excercising their right to an advantage in a gray area.

Those SPEED guys are only reading from que cards and information sheets that are provided by the auction house based on the sellers description. Mike Joy is NOT part of the conspiracy to sell you a 427 with a six banger vin. Any of his other color commentary is surely based on his vast knowledge of that make and model car, not the particular specimen on the block!!
