Any thoughts on the B-J auction...?

I saw the #9 Z-L1 at the Rand Workman auction in NY this past September And it was a tired car needing attention. But still at 450 you could do a full frame off and still be sitting pretty in that one. They also said Dick Harrell owned it.

On the info page they disclosed that the # 9 ZL1 was a rebody. That probably had a effect on price. The bidding frenzy seemed to peak at the futurliner and then fizzled.

No rhyme or reason to auctions sometimes, especially after seeing the auction halted momentarily for that black 71' hemi cuda. A last minute disclosure of a re-body there, and it still hit 650K I think.

I loved when the announcer was trying to explain his legal theory that in some states if you can prove the body is gone you can rebody it. WHAT???? I felt like emailing him that he was so beyond wrong on that one. It is a felony to do it, period. I think there is going to be some legal issues following that cuda very soon. Ouch!
