A bit of a stretch, don't you think? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] It's not the auctions business to &quot;check&quot; every car that comes up for auction. The auction is provided a write up from the owner. If you want a car checked out, there are people and services for that. And-a buyer should be an educated buyer. An auctions business is to make money, plain and simple. After all, the auction didn't build the FAKE car....

BY the way, this car sold for $30,930.00 </div></div>

I don't know Bruce. There's somewhere in the middle isn't there? Every auction house out there knows this site or someone on it. I am willing to bet when that fake L89 black '69 Camaro went over the block someone was well-versed in what was said about the car on here...and still let it go through to the tune of 200K. That strikes me as wrong. It is a moral dilemma above all.

30K is definitely not '68 RAII GTO money. But it is more than clone '68 goats change hands for on any given day

Hey Des, I get what you are saying...but-the auction house is just a pipeline to sell the car. No different than ebay...or even here. The auction houses don't make any claims to the authenticity of a car (read the fine print [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] )

I guess in perfect world, every one would be truthful and on the up and up, but when 3100 cars go through one auction here in AZ and over 1000 at another-the auction houses don't have the time to check everything, nor should they.

I guess we can agree to disagree? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Not disagreeing, but like most moral dilemmas just don't know who is &quot;more right&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
