Don't know the car but saw this picture of it and thought, looks nice, but:
Squeaky gas tank straps.
Wrong springs.
Lots of restoration grafitti.
Improper axle tube prep for a restoration.
A Jerry report is useless without reading it.
What else? You going to bid?

This car hurts my eyes!! It's not even CLOSE to being "restored". "Refurbished", yes (with a lot of incorrect parts), but not "restored". No proof whatsoever shown in the pictures of it being a real Z28. That ALWAYS raises a red flag.
And it's not in the database.

He did get one thing right...no caution fan sticker :)

Always gets a snicker to see the cross ram and a smog setup on the same car.
-
Anyone going to Scottsdale that can possibly lay eyes on the JM report?
Thanks, Doc.
-
If you're interested in purchasing, contact Jerry and see what he has to say.

Squeaky gas tank straps.
What's the issue with the tank straps?
-
Ditto on the gas tank strap question.
-
Only thing I see that is wrong is the straps are supposed to be black. Anti squeak goes between the tank & the floor ..Joe

Car has lots of stuff wrong with it, wrong headrests , and Braille body gaps really stand out. Front subframe crossmember looks terrible, doesn’t anybody fix them! Lots of lipstick.
I guess it’s someone’s best effort, but typical auction fluff. Nice colour though.

Barrett-Jackson finally added a picture of the JM certificate. They do not have the report. Reached out to JM, no reply yet.

Hi Mike, wow that rascal has a lot of stuff incorrect and a judge would get writers cramp.

Sellers pay a good amount to have a report done. What they do or do not share (full report or not) is up to them. And I don't really think it is right for anyone to just ask JM for a copy of the report on a car. The person that paid for the report should have some right to privacy - they paid a fee for a service.
-
Where does it say he asked for a copy of the report? Could have asked for an opinion on how 'correct' the car was/is. Interesting debate; if a seller uses a CHP Appraisal Certificate to help market their car at a higher value, but won't provide the detailed report that sets out component and finish status, isn't that deliberate non-disclosure?

Hi Chick, I agree but I guess the winning bidder didn’t !!!?? WOW . $165,000 US. Guess you never know

Sounded like several of the cars had their write ups revised after Jerry got done with them from what a friend told me. Then they still bring big prices. The COPO, to me, was not a COPO
-
Correct. Jerry and Norm did a lot of inspections prior to anything selling to verify what was what.

I Agree 100%, it was a “Reproduction” COPO, I could not believe any one would pay that much.
