Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro

[Charley Lillard]

Gary Holub owned the rebodied cars. He is usually very up front about what he has that is a rebody. He disclosed two of them very clearly but the ZL1 he was not as clear but the sale price reflected that most probably knew.

The current listing on the BJ website does disclose the ZL-1 as "Rebodied"

my problem is the remarks Barrett Jackson made about the 'history' of the ZL-1...besides the whole fiasco of the auction itself.......I missed the Green Yenko auction...what did that sell for? ..but the Deuce was very clear that it was rebodied..although the 'ax' story was pretty weak... jmo

[BUIZILLA]

my opinion is that re-bodied car's shouldn't be getting the Saturday Night Fever limelight... they certainly don't deserve that fiasco... i'm very disappointed in some things from an integrity standpoint.... the green car DID have a Reggie Jackson nameplate on the front bumper, and it definately appeared to me that he was bidding it up for someone... play back the tapes carefully, and you'll see what I mean..

on the other hand, the Gwynn limelight auction was a very sobering and tearjerk timeframe, what a ultra classy guy. What he and Rick Hendrick did was emotional, and from the solid value core of the heart strings..

I missed what ever it was that Rick Hendrick did that was emotional but I laughed my ass off when he bought the 2010 Camaro and everyone thought it was the greatest gesture in the world. Lets see, Hendrick gets factory backed support from Chevrolet, Chevrolet dontates the 1st public 2010 Camaro to charity. Isnt that kind of like me giving you 1,000,000 bucks and you giving me half of it back? WOW, great gesture!

Something needs to be done about the announcers criticising the bidders for not spending high $. I dont know how many times Steve or Craig got on the mic to bitch about people not spending money. They sound like a bunch of whiney little brats.

I'd like to know how the ZL-1 was represented to B-J and if anyone in their organization is aware of the true story surrounding the car. I am not sure how extensivly Steve Davis researches the cars they select for consignment. We sold a 70 GSX Stage 1 car last year and while on the block, they basically described the car to the audience exactly as we wrote the ad copy.

On TV they said that there was a "last minute" change to the auction bill that disclosed that the three cars were rebodies. The announcers said that Sunglasses Steve fully explained that fact each time the three cars went across the block. (Of course, that explanation magically didn't make in on the air) I would like to hear from someone that was there if that was in fact what happened.

Hum... wonder if the dude who ended up with the ZL-1 got the memo?

[NWYENKO]

Chuck, I remember a rumor floating around Bremerton Raceway about 20-25 yeaars ago that Jim Bruns was running that body and the trim tag had been sold for $25k. At the time the car was red and one of the fastest and most consistent. Again I said "RUMOR". Jim

If you think the ZL1 auction was pathetic to watch on TV talk about watching it in person. That was a dead stale mate at 200k when Reggie bid it up to the 300k area. Spanky was about to put the hammer down and Craig interferred saying "hold on!" as the car was still considered a "deal." Again I see a trend of buyers becoming more educated. 50% market value deduction for a rebody. Yenko Nova for 70k, the ZL1 for 300k. I like how the seller tried to sweeten the deal by including Yenko items. The one car that wasn't a rebody - the yellow car- brought market value for a Yenko Camaro/M40. I see no value in the rebody cars what so ever. Especially without the original components, you're paying a premium for what, the vin number?
