A lot of what Drew said is correct, bidders need to do their homework or run the risk of a bad deal. However, that has got to be one of the most unprofessional responses I've ever read from someone in such a position.

I guess the lawyers did not compose that response.

His responses to the quick bowtie's scenario a couple months ago were irritating. His latest response is just plain ignorant.

Exactly!.

Personal opinion here but most of Drew's comments are nothing new to many reading these postings and the biggest education provided may just be the crystal clear confirmation which auction house blatantly doesn't give a sh!+ who patronizes their business by providing the quality cars or real money necessary to help keep things rolling?.


These comments are especially surprising considering how you'd expect auction houses in a troubled market would need and want to retain or attract as many of the real deal guy's cars and money more than ever before!.

if Drew really expects the buyer to eat the deal, he damm well better post every single VIN # 30 days ahead of time so us peasants have adequate time to determine if what he offer's the public for sale isn't a dead dove come hammer time.

As for the auction companies verifying the cars they are selling, let me draw your attention to the info regarding this 71 W30 convert sold at the January auction. The info makes perposterous claims about the car having a left over 70 W30 engine.
As I have been accumulating info on these W30 cars for 25 years and am well familiar with their production,I emailed R&S about the misinformation on this car. My correspondence was well before the auction. I did not get a response, nor did the wording change. the car sold for about what a #2 plain 442 would fetch with some desireable options added. The presentaion is cleaverly worded with "probably" and "likely". What the seller is relying on is the fact that both 1970 and 1971 W30 engines were coded "TT",by way of a sticker on the oil filler tube. Furtermore the "TT" code only applies to non A/C cars.
Fortunately this car did not sell as a bonafide W30, however I was disappointed that R&S did not have the seller modify his wording.
If I were purchasing a rare car at an auction I would need lats of time to ensure I was buying what was being claimed.
