You guys are assuming that because the pic in the above post is at Barrett-Jackson that the writer meant his bidder agreement allowing the auction house to bid for the seller was at Barrett-Jackson also. He never said it was. I might still have my bidder agreement here. I will look for it later today. Or maybe someone else has one.

I saw the car also. As I recall it was a LA car but had a restamped engine and they put a N on the engine vin stamping as if it was a Norwood car. I think it also had the traditional "Caution fan" sticker for that perfect restoration.

Finally chiming in. The blue JL8 Z28 was very real with very real paperwork. I owned it a few years ago. It was bought new by Dave Emmanuel the automotive writer. He even used it in a couple magazine articles in the 70's. It had the orig window sticker and other paperwork.  I think the block wasdecked but it was the orig block and I confirmed the car with Emmanuel.This same car sold at RM in Monterey last year and both times the auction card said it had paperwork but I never saw any of it on display. It was on the cover of Sports Car Market Magazine last month but that also was not mentioned on the Barrett-Jackson auction card. I passed by it at Monterey and didn't realize it was my old car. Someone since me has added the crossram.
 As for Barrett-Jackson not being the venue to sell survivor cars, in addition to the Z28 last year there was the L78 convert the year before. Or the killer 12K mile 68 L78 Camaro the year before that. Each time those cars brought record  type money.

  As for the article written by the 4 wheel drift guy I have posted on other forums that I put his article on the same level as a grocery store check out line mag like National Inquirer etc. I consider most of what he said as crap.
