Im pretty sure if you read the auction contract weather its Russo Barrett Mecum or who ever, they dont inspect or verify any cars thats the buyers resposibility, unless of course they owned the car, then I think you have some kind of case..

Most contracts state you have to go after the owner of the car if a dispute has happened and that the cost is covered by you.

I feel for you and agee it is horrible that these cars show up at auctions and nothing is done about it but most cars are known and thats why they dont bring the dough.. ie Blue LS6 Convert, ZL1 camaros, etc.. Thats why I wont bid on a car thats selling cheap unless Ive done my homework.

Ive heard rumors about that car too and couldnt believe it last year when it did 10k more than my REAL COPO at Barrett.. As much as it SUCKS Id take what happened with a grain of salt and say lesson learned, sell the car for what it really is and write the rest off as a loss.. Legal fees will be way more than the price difference IMO unless you can go after everything including lawyer fee's.
