I watched the video twice...when did they announce it was a re-body? As a matter of fact...C Jackson said 'this is a real car'..but they knew..it was a re body..hence NOT a real car...

Did I miss something?

I've been to Barrett Jackson twice...it is a meeting place of shysters and automotive idiots...idiots who want to be famous at the expense of paying a HUGE premium.

Jim,

Apparently the statement was made by the auctioneers when the cars came up for sale. It was conveniently edited out of the broadcast.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm still confused..

poster said he it got footage from his DVR..

The broadcast was 'live' wasn't it?

You can't edit something that is 'live ' can you?

I don't mean to be obtuse...

[/ QUOTE ]

You can't edit something live but you can decide when the broadcast joins the auction. You see the car already on the block when the broadcast starts so viewers at home have no idea what has been said prior to start of auction.

I agree with Don also. I've said for years B-J is just an entertaining car show. I talked with another member here last week and we both agree; at the present time if you're looking for an auction that more accurately reflects the 'real life' pricing on "Quality" collector cars, look to Mecum.

Let's hope they can hold on to their integrity.

B-J was very entertaining for me. i love looking for people that i know better than looking at the cars going across the block. that and doing the fantasy bidding with the boys was just as fun. !!!! so i will watch again next year(if i dont go) and as far as the ZL-1

I was waiting for the old organ grinder to appear when the ZL-1 was sold.

Chuck did not remove the trim tag or vin# from the car. Somebody else did that. The car now has the correct vin on the body. There lies the rub!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Hey Chuck,

If that's the case, I apologize...I thought I remembered Chuck explaining that "he was just a 23 year old kid wanting to go racing"..or someyhing to that effect..if I have it wrong, thanks for letting me know Kim. Im probably confused. As usual!! hehe
Maybe I should have just ASKED you Chuck what happened again..or better maybe someone can find the original thread?? Ive searched but I can never find anything when searching for an old thread..???? Anyone?

Once again..sorry

Max

BTW...does anyone have a pic of the cowl tag to the car??

My understanding was that Jim Bruns, a local racer, removed the tag and sold it for $25k and he is still racing the body. Might be wrong, a lot of hearsay. Chuck probably knows better. Jim

The money they raise for charity is great, but even those auctions get sickening after a while. All the pauses to say "Come on! It's for the kids!" and constantly reminding everyone that there are no auction fees.

Not to take away from the generousity of those that bid, but I prefer someone that gives to their favorite charity without having to do it under the lights of national televison.
