A few cars from Barrett Jackson-Scottsdale

Pic #5. I wonder what this car will go for. Th Fury from the movie Christine went for something like $250k last year!!

The Corvette is not authentic by any means. Proteam Corvette did some build up on the car and called it "Scotty" now they want their money back...

Your talking the motion vette?. I've read in a few places that it is original #'s matching gt motion vette and has been owned by the same family for some 20 odd years. Is there something amiss with this car????

I've heard that Scotty was done personally by someone in the GM design division on his own. He has been present with the car at various shows and has talked about his work on the car back in the 50's, Scott was the last name of the engineer. If this is a made up car, they have done lots of fabrication of the story, and I mean lots of fabrication. Are you sure this is a made up car? I know that they had it for sale for a long time in its unrestored condition. I am not affiliated with the dealership in Ohio, but from all I have read and seen of the car, I've always felt it was legitimate.

On the 1954 F-88 concept car this is this is the only one the car has a lot of
History behind it I would think this one would bring in BIG money if someone knows
Of what it is and how it escaped the crusher

Norm...Is that the car that an engineer took apart and put in crates? I heard a story like that a while back. He then had the crates shipped to his home? The car was supposed to be destroyed, but he didn't have the heart to see it crushed?

Wow! This description of "Scotty" is news to me. The story I heard was completely contradicting of the truth. Anyone have a link? I would like to get my facts straight.

I'm not positive but I thought it was in Pro Teams description on their site...
