??? The car was a very low mileage (6,000 miles) example when originally purchased by Otis Chandler for his collection in 1987. It had a crazy custom panel paint job and an L88 fiberglass hood scoop back in the day. No trunk floor was replaced. And that is what the original, extra cost undercoating looks like when it was factory installed. My 70 Hemi Charger looked just like that. It's like they hired an asphalt repaving crew to apply the stuff with steam roller back then. It was almost 3/8" thick. Last edited by njsteve; 01-15-2023 at 12:07 AM. |

Can you post the VIN? Mecum doesn’t list them.

That's an anomaly in his collection I guess. All his other cars were really long term owned originals. |

I would say, on a whole, the market is still very strong for these cars and prices up pretty good.

I agree - we may have to consider including that 1969 Yenko "prototype" Camaro in the registry!

I watched several hours of TV coverage yesterday (Friday) and will say it was very refreshing to see mostly true collector cars (or at least what I consider to be collector cars) going across the block, with only a smattering of newer stuff, resto-mods, etc. I will be attending B-J later this month, primarily because it's close to me and my neighbor has free tickets

Another year goes by and more and more fakes sell for big money. Am I the only one that feels nauseated by this?
I honestly don’t know much what to think anymore. People are fully incentivized to lie, cheat, and steal. And many feel the auction houses are just as bad. Plausible deniability is on full display. Thoughts? |

When it comes to the "questionable" cars being sold for big money I think it boils down to a significant number people out there with money to burn that have been getting into muscle cars over the last couple of years. They're not as educated about these cars as they should be and it's leading to foolish decisions like assuming that a car that's been in a magazine or two is what its reported to be at the auction. The auction companies are covered by their disclaimers so they just keep them going across the block as fast as they can sell them without fear if a car or the docs are real or not. Throw a little alcohol in there along with the TV camera's and you've got a perfect storm for a bad decision. I think most of us on this site know better but the poor folks buying those cars don't and they're going to get a expensive wake up call one of these days if they do there homework. But if they didn't do their homework on a car before the auction will they once they get it home? Companies that don't post the VIN aren't doing us any favors either IMO.
