BJ Auction - 67 RS went for $80k

[77thor]

After watching some of the B-J auction, I have come to the conclusion that there are a lot of people out there that have more money than they know what to do with.

   I like to see their facial expressions afterwards when signing for the vehicle.
Some look very ecstatic about their purchases    while others have that bewildered ‘What did I just do’ look  . You know the kind...like waking up with a hang over and you say to yourself 'oh my...how much did I spend last night'?  I guess the atmosphere (cameras, drinks and a little vanity) is setup like that purposely. Sort of like the comps, gambling tables and atmosphere at Atlantic City. Otherwise they show some beautiful cars.
 On another note considering the short review time for a potential buyer to look a car over I wonder how many people bid on these cars with little or no knowledge and if they are real or fake (in the cases of authentic) and what recourse, if any, they would have if the latter was discovered at a later time.

The ZL1 was on the block for nearly 10 minutes, I taped it.....The car is a rebody that used a lot of NOS Parts. The auction people and the seller disclosed that  a GM shell was used in the the restoration..... could of been a little more forthright instead of having to read in between the lines but the guys from Speed missed that key fact all together. Had paperwork from selling dealer but much of the car was not original. Paperwork kept the price strong @ 410K. Car was sold at BJ back in 2006 for 436K.

When did "Correct" start meaning "wrong"??

I assume your commenting on my post...if so, some 67's and all 68's & 69's.

Maybe its just me but when I hear the term; "Period Correct" or plain old "Correct" referencing one of these engines, a major red flag goes up in my book. Most people that have a numbers matching block go out of their way to let prospective buyers know its a "Numbers Matching Block/Drivetrain". But that's just me...everyone has their own opinion/red flag indicators and this is mine. I don't expect everyone to agree. Again, just one guys opinion...

To me, "Period Correct", "Correct" or "Numbers Matching Block/Drivetrain" all mean the same thing - Not original. The phrase I look for is "Born with Engine/Trans./Rear". There's no mistaking what that means.
