Bill,
Aren't you remotely interested in how B-J came across images
of your particular car?

Steve,

This particular photo of my car is currently available to view (or download to a computer https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif ) on both this site (in Members Rides) and on Team Chevelle (January 2003 Feature Car), so it's no real mystery. I did send an email to B-J so we'll see what they have to say, if anything.

I would say that several of their ads would have what could best be described as "file photos" that they got from somewhere.......Bill, maybe you get to keep your car and also get the money from the one that sells https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Don,

If I get the money and keep my car I will send you a nice monetary gift for even making the suggestion https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Yes, I wonder how many more photos in that booklet have been 'appropriated' from other sources https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif My gut feeling is that B-J themselves is the guilty party here, in the interest of providing as many photos as possible in their promotional literature. If the seller had actually supplied them with that picture, they would probably have it on the website along with the description of the car, too, and that's not the case.

Re: ....you're always the last to know
 

Bill...why do I have the feeling that the car that's actually up for sale at BJ is the one that went though last year? Why wouldn't they use the photos that they already had of that car?

I'm talking about this one...

Re: ....you're always the last to know
 

Sure does sound like the same car, has all the same options as the one listed this coming year https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: ....you're always the last to know
 

Bill-

Well...now you've done it! The link on BJ's website to 'your' car now has a picture of <u>YOUR car!</u> https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Along with an unknown interior picture https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif

Click Here...dude!

Re: ....you're always the last to know
 

Those idiots at B-J https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif I exchanged several emails with them and they assured me that the owner of the real car to be auctioned was providing them with updated photos https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: ....you're always the last to know

Quote from the first email I received from John Cook at Barrett-Jackson:
"Lot 440 has a complete consignment agreement with the title in the seller’s name. We are selling this car…"

Quote from the second email I received from John Cook:
"I contacted the seller and he sent the wrong photos for that car. He is resending accurate pics that will be used in the future. Thanks for your help. …JC"

I guess he should have said "...resending accurate pics that may or may not be used in the future." https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: ....you're always the last to know
 

Thanks to aggressive pursuit of this matter by my wife https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif the picture of my car is now gone from the B-J website....and complimentary admission tickets to the auction are supposed to be on the way to us https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: ....you're always the last to know
 

Nice perseverance - nice score. Congrats! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
