Barrett-Jackson 2004

[Jeff H]

So what's the story on the bogus JL8 car? Inquiring minds want to know?

[csx289]

I think Charley pretty well covered it on the other thread.Made up car, bogus P-O-P, less than reputable seller with a really good attorney.

Oh yeah, BTW, Barrett-Jackson does not check paperwork or history, only cares if the car is shiny and you have the title and balls enough to let it rip no reserve! See no evil, hear no evil - and buyer beware because "all representations are the sellers, and not Barrett-Jacksons". What does that tell you?

Regards,

That's what I was telling people at work who saw some of the auction coverage. BJ does not verify any of the cars and it's buyer beware. They were all surprised and thought it was "The" big auction because they stood behind the vehicles.

Congrats on your record selling Judge Colin.
I did not mean any disrespect. Please do not take it that way. I personally just think its high, just my opinion. I have had a few Judge's myself, not basket cases either. I have been following them on a daily basis for many years now.
I guess I will just have to pay a bit more for the next one. I have seen pics of the White Judge convert a few months back. Looks really nice. Has a proven track record too.

So What did you buy?

[csx289]

I didn't buy a thing at B-J (unlike The Lillard), but I did buy a 1961 Dodge Dart Phoenix with the D500 305HP Big Block at the Silver auction the prior week.

Very cool car, I bought it because it is the only one I have ever seen! It is the car on the HMN 2003 calendar for October, and it was in SIA magazine in 2000.

Push-button trans, and it chirps the tires on upshifts! Plus, we discovered that when driving home from B-J after a few drinks that the car actually drove BETTER if I took my hands off of the wheel and let IT drive - at 80 mph!

I think I saw Charley pedaling some freaky looking bicycle in the parking lot, but it was raining, and well, those drinks....

Colin...I want to see a pic of that Phoenix...I looked at Silver and couldn't find it...you have a link or pic ?

[csx289]

Charley might have one...if not, I'll post it when I get home. The car is in a trailer heading to Milwaukee as we speak. I suppose Hemmings might have it posted? Maybe under Special Interest Autos index?
