B-J Auction; so who is the guy....

[bashton]

That won the LS6 Convertible and bid 4 million on the Futurliner, and just now won the Elvis Lincoln Limo?

He looks familiar but I just can't place where I know him from. Anyone know?

[bashton]

Now he bought the 29 P/U that Eric Perat and his crew at Pinkys Rod Shop in Colorado built for $190k, which was a steal!

[Belair62]

That was a helluva hemi rod !!!

[bashton]

Not exactly my style but a real work of art in the Street Rod world. Pinkys Rod Show has built several Ridler award winners and some of the neatest rods of the past 10 or so years. Eric is a real neat and down to earth guy too.

I thought that it would draw a lot more but maybe it didn't due to the fact that it has basically won nearly every award and it has already been in nearly every rod magazine.

[Redneck]

I think his name is Ken Shupee from South Carolina

[bashton]

There seems to be no pattern to his buying...he is buying a wide variety of vehicles; Chevy/Fords/Street Rod etc

What a neat collection he is amassing (or adding to!)

[COPO]

He's got an extra $4 million burning a hole in his pocket since he missed out on the Futurliner.

[Belair62]

They didn't explain that ...what happened ?

[joey]

he felt they were running the bid did you notice how it went from 4.5 mill to 4 mill to him and he then didnt bid again and the next item the elvis car he ran up to see that they had a real bidder

[427TJ]

He was probably getting in that other bidder's face to see if he was a shill bidder or the real deal. I wonder how many fake/shill bidders there are at B-J? Friends and/or family of sellers, etc.? I've run into that on eBay when buying car parts.
