Thats what I was thinking, how much time would one have to inspect a car which was coming up for auction. It sounds like the hobby/industry must make an effort to educate buyers as to what to look for and make the information very public. The only way this may change is to put enough skepticism in the market that in order to get the big money owners would have to really prove up there car. Unfortunately this would may have the effect of depressing values market wide but it may help solve the problem of "fake" cars which if left to continue will create big credibility problem moving forward. I think the auction people would be well served by putting some teeth into agreements made with sellers and being very public about it. If im going to the auction I would sure feel better about putting my money down if I knew there was a better screening process.

I agree that it is impossible for the auction people to police the market, but the more these unfortunate stories surface the more the auction business will suffer.

I may be way off base with this but my 0.02
