Re: Barrett Jackson Las Vegas
This sucks.....I followed the thread on CRG when it first came up until it was pulled and was feeling good about the facts that were coming forward as too much of this took place in the past.
According to the former owner of the Z-28 it was the same car he buried years before with out removing the tags and hidden vins. At the time he decided to bury the car, it had been banged up enough that is was too far gone to fix so he disposed of it but he kept the paperwork which he sold on EBay about 5 years ago.
Then this car comes up across the block and he is convinced that it was his former car or his paperwork was used to re-create his former car which was 6' under in the ground. A check of the vins do indicate that this indeed is the same as what he used to own.
Now however the car has been certified as an original z by a recognized expert on Z's. The former owner claims there is no way this can be the case as the car was too damaged when he decided to dispose of it.
Either the car is real or it is not. Too many high level players are involved to just sweep this under the rug. I was hoping we would get a definitive answer because if the car is indeed a re-body/clone/recreation/tribute or what ever, some people in the know got fooled and it if happened to them, it can happen to any of us.
