I thought LV bought this car when it was at auction last year and determined through NICB and previous owners that it was never near Long Island and the auction company took it back. I know this was discussed on the board a while back.

-----Unless the car did sell at B-J,it is still held by the same California dealer that bought it from Kruse. He told me that because of a dispute with the original owner who wanted it back,that Kruse had to buy it back from the individual they sold it to. At that point Dean K had just bought back his company from E-bay,and sold the car cheap to wash his hands of it. According to this dealer,Joel wants nothing to do with this car or its paperwork now as he has been threatened with litigation if he says it is an original car by the original owner who was willing to lie about the cars history just to get it back.
-----All of this seems pretty far-fetched,I agree,but Im just reporting what I was told. The dealer involved here is well known and has a good reputation.........Bill S

Weird story...so let me getthis straight..the dealer says the original owner will sue Joel if he says its a BM car ?

Hey, if you have it figured out, would you mind explaining it to me?

[Belair62]

If I had a BM Camaro I would sue Joel too to make sure no one would think it's real ..

NOW I get it. Sure wish Don was still around so I could get him to say my cars were not Yenkos.

This is absolutly ridiculous! This whole conspiracy theory just dont fit! Even with my sometines warped and twisted perception of things I cant find a spot outside the box to stand! The whole concept is based upon the idea of one of the original owners wanting it back........so bad he is going to threaten to sue the only man on the frigging planet who can turn a $15,000 driver Camaro into a BM car, so two things come to mind, nobody who can think outside a straight jacket would threaten to hammer the goose if it lays the golden egg, and even more absurd is the fact that if the previous owner knows the car is a BM and wants it back, now that it has a shadow hanging over it why not just BUY IT BACK! 250,000 people who attended Barrett Jackson could have bought that car, probebly for less then the asking price of $69,995, which if it is the Baldwin Motion this owner claims it to be, he could buy it for about half of WHAT IT'S WORTH! So, concoct a story like this to buy back a car that cant be documented because you threatened the source of documentation which means it will never see full value......when all you had to do is BUY IT BACK! Who the hell is the former owner, Tuttle? These guys are smoking better weed then I have ever seen, maybe the only reason I can see through this BS is because I didnt Inhale! The whole thing is ridiculous, this last week has been like going to the Comedy Den, first you got a guy trying to claim a car as being stolen from him and he wants it back, at the same time all the previous owners to the car are scrathing their heads and wondering why if this idiot wanted to go to prison so bad why not throw a brick through a post office window, at the same time another fool is convincing the world his old car is a fake to make it worthless all the while it's FOR SALE and he could have it at a moments notice to spend the next five years trying to convince the world it's real! Were these two guys related? Somebody get me a bottle of Crown Royal quick, I need some clarity in my life!
