What's with that blond headed wood pecker looking idiot that bids but never buys?

[/ QUOTE ] you took the words right out of my mouth.... his visor makes him look like a visble plant to me..

I think he was using the visor to hold his mullett back. Did he eventually buy anything or was he just sucking up TV time?

I think this is the second year that I don't recall seeing the big time buyer who always wore the Univerity of Tennessee cap. Is he out of the market? He seemed like a pretty shrewd buyer who knew what he wanted rather than just sit in the front row and bid on everything that crossed the block because he could.

...and yes Reggie was prior owner of ZL-1...here is a link showing advertising as such at the auction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYRWSKl6doA

Wasn't the green Yenko bid to $325 at Mecum and did not meet reserve? I think the waters were tested at Mecum and it was felt that it might go higher at Barrett-Jackson. Woulda, coulda, shoulda!!!

Karen and I watched this "circus" and couldn't believe what we saw happening on national television When Jackson and company get tired of this gig, they should try running a 3 card monte game on a street corner some place....it would be a step up

Hey, kid...wanna buy a COPO..??

[CamarosRus]

LOST my reply, while copying below pics........ARGH!!!!!!!!!

Interested to read why this community refers to a created, mfg, cloned #27 ZL-1 69 Camaro as a rebodied Camaro.

#27 that everyone saw on T.V. Saturday night has only ONE born with assy line part, the VIN TAG. Each and every other part on that car was imported from another 69 Camaro or bought new (N.O.S.).

There must be other rebodied projects where some/much of the born with sheetmetal, trim powertrain, trim tag was transfered to another body shell.

Where do YOU draw the line on what is defined as rebodied and where do you start using the defintion of deceit and recreation ??????????

Most of the sheetmetal and trim of the #27 ZL-1 remains in Wash State to this day....my below multi colored car is now solid red. Not sure who owns car now, but people like Jim Bruns, and Dave Barcelon surely must.

Hey Chuck...With all due respect and please correct me if I am wrong on the facts...I am going from memory and my alzheimers kicks in at times..hehehe, but I thought the story in prior threads was that you took the car to get mini-tubbed and they cut the full floors out, so you found another body and switched the VIN and the drivetrain and went racing with the car...and that point, I believe the car was considered "rebodied"....I realize at some point the drivetrain was separated from the body and the car parted out...but I would still consider the car rebodied. I dont see much difference if it has the original drivetrain or not...

..if the original body is found, I dont know what they could do with it without a VIN....?? maybe sell it to the owner of the car!! hehe

Do I have the story right?? more or less?? hehe... just my opinion... Max

...and as far as the auction companies...I dont know if one is any better than another...I remember last year this same car running through one of the other big auctions and bidding to 315,000 but not hitting the reserve.Is there an auction company that will not accept this car? I dont know if the buyer got such a bad deal as he may be able to sell the car for more money some day.
I realize that there are many purists in the hobby, but apparently, the law is set-up so a car can be repaired and "rebodied" if there was no fraud intended...I dont believe Chuck was committing fraud back when he did this. And as long as the seller makes a reasonable effort to disclose this, I dont think they are liable either...The whole Feggie bidding on teh car seems shady, but I guess he had every right to bid and win the car as anyone.......I'm not sure what was said in person by Barrett Jackson before this car sold at the auction as far as disclosure...apparently Reggie spoke about the car...but it was not shown on TV...anyone that was there??? Did BJ disclose the rebody of the ZL-1 prior to the auction??
I'm no lawyer, but I dont think it would be easy to prove any wrongdoing in court over all this...I think you would have a tough time saying you got ripped off just because the car bid to 315,000 last year at another auction.

jmhu...

Thanks, Max

BTW, Chuck...those pics are bad asssss

[Kim_Howie]

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!!!

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??

or the clown in the Ferrari hat or the guy in the white t-shirt that they tried to stick with the Motorama $4 million dollar bus or any of the guys from that B-J scam TV show (with the exception of the guy with the shaved head)..all I watched was a couple of hours on Sat night but it`s like the circus came to town, and Speed put it on TV.
