In Chronological order:

https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Even...LLE-LS6-224541 Sold $56,100.00
https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Even...-SS-LS6-180571 Sold 88K.
https://www.mecum.com/lots/KC1213-16...-chevelle-ls6/ Sold $41,500.

If you calculate the 10% from buyer and 10% from the seller off the $323,200 total sales, you get $64K in commissions. You could build another two for that price. Hey, you could start a multi-level-marketing Ponzi scheme out of LS6's ;-)

It all makes for a black eye on the hobby, every time someone gets burned with one of these counterfeit vehicles it has the potential of taking that individual out of the hobby forever that is the bad side of it.

Until some auction house steps up and offers a guarantee of the description, it will never get any better. Barrett-Jackson does some due diligence with their automotive experts attempting to limit the false claims, but even that pales in the eyes of what is truly needed.

It seems as though the experts at B-J only say if a car is what it is claimed to be; I’ve yet to hear/read/see one of the staff experts say a consigned vehicle is a fake (before it hits the block).

I'm certainly not defending anything or anyone here. I stand by my statement "Until some auction house steps up and offers a guarantee of the description, it will never get any better."

Having served as an automotive expert for Barrett-Jackson in the past I can assure you many descriptions have been changed, some cars have been removed from the sale and some have even been impounded by the authorities. So I might disagree with your claim. It's also pretty hard to review 170 plus cars in your area of expertise within a few days which is often all you have. I actually had cars show up for the first time in the staging lane and changed the description on the car when it was literally one car away. It's not as easy as hind site makes it sound.

While that would do alot help these situations, thats never ever going to happen.

I can attest that Barrett is trying to weed out the fakes. They even have guys that inspect the restomod cars to make sure the description matches what they see. Like saying the car has a LS3 but when checked it simply has a LS1. They are then given the option of changing the description to correctly reflect what is there or pull the car from the auction. Or vins have been swapped so they inform law enforcement.

I asked in an earlier post about the original protecto plate this car has been advertised with having. It hasnt been mentioned... have I stepped in something? Maybe it was a dumb question or y'all just dont like me

My understanding is the LS5/LS6 have specific engine codes, like the DZ on my Camaro. These are also on the POP of course, but would it be reissued for a CE replacement? I thought a new POP would only be made if the car was sold during the warranty period. Either way this isnt the "original" one.
