In the art world an auction house would be sure if the painting they sell is legit, it would ruin their name for ever if they sold a fake. And they would commit an illegal act. Apparently not a problem in the auto auction world...


Can't just about anybody call the FBI on this auction company, evidence in this case i clear.

The first 8 or 9 photos are from the Mecum auction ad. Wonder if those guys built the O'Donnell car.

The auction companies all state clearly on the descriptions that all of the information is provided by and represented by the seller and not the auction. That way it keeps them out of the &quot;misrepresented&quot; trouble.

Does mecum or seller put estimated value in listing? If it's mecum they should research the cars. Trim tag was easy to see

There is no way for the auction companies to vet all the vehicles that come through. While I can't appreciate the &quot;nod and wink&quot; approach that they all take, the REAL culpability is on the guys misrepresenting the cars.

This is the problem that American's suffer from today: &quot;Who can this be blamed on?&quot; Obviously it's never anyone's own fault these days. You are always going to have frauds and cheats. That's a given. It's the buyers fault. Anyone who puts their trust into someone or something that barely know anything about and then get burned by it, it's their own fault. Responsibility ultimately falls on the person forking over the cash.

With the internet and access to information that we have today, there is no one else to blame but yourself for not doing the research, asking questions, and finding a knowledgeable appraiser.
