So is Jerry M working this auction? Wonder if he authenticated it?

I seriously doubt it's been authenticated. I'd like to know if it has, and/ or if it's actually a requirement @ BJ. I'm guessing the owner of the cars must agree to have it done.

Actually that price doesn't seem that high. Last year they sold a Cortez Silver RS Z/28 for $140k and there were things about that car that were a little off. If I remember right, it never started life as an RS originally and was converted (X77 trim tag).

It was a nicely restored car with certifications.

I do believe Jerry is there as well as William (I'm supposed to meet up with William tomorrow) But I don't think they document every car unless requested?

Also doesn't appear that bidders care about being totally correct either as this car is too early for a ZL2 hood and the wide rear spoiler.

Similar instance with the Silver Z I mentioned from last year that sold for $140k. People didn't mind it was a converted RS car. I talked to William about this last year, I'm sure he remembers the details better than I do. But at least the silver car was an X77 with a real tag, so it was a documented Z.

The problem with this orange Z in question is that it's too early for the X codes, and with what I assume the general consensus is a restamped drivetrain and fake paperwork, there's no telling what the car started life as without some serious investigation work.

I'll add, I think I counted no less than 12 (maybe more) 69 Z/28's on the BJ roster this week just looking at Thursday to Saturday alone.

Ignore the Sunbeam Tiger link, my wife has been wanting one of those for a while now so I'm keeping eyes peeled

What do you have after a serious investigation? A car without it's original drivetrain that can't be definitively proven as to what it started as....

For cars that were certified it would be nice to have a link to the report or just have a few key items listed :

Original trim tag to the car X
Original Engine X
Original TransX
No restamped components X

Yep that's what I mean. Doesn't seem to matter as much about the drivetrain, or so it appears. And the fact that the cars aren't restored correctly as pertaining to their build time frame doesn't seem to have any affect either. People are spending money on converted X77 RS's, style trim added, ZL2 and spoilers added, early cars with 8k tachs etc... I think this stuff, from what I'm seeing, only concerns the small group of hard core people.

Makes the blue 69 survivor that sold here look like a steal.

Just saw the z28 crossram car do 82,000. Seem kinda low if what they were saying about original crossram. It was on the block for a long time.
