Re: Barrett Jackson Max Wedge
When you go to an auction, you better really know your stuff Not all sellers are truthful and some actually out and out crooks. And with the rediculas high selling fees the auction companys don't realy care. Been there - done that, and I don't trust auctioneers at all .....................MO

Donnie and all...There have been lots of stories I've heard ,over the years,
of improprieties that go on at BJ...owners buying cars back...J himself
selling his own cars anonymously...bribes...it goes on and on. I wouldn't
buy anything from them...even if I was there in person.

Well here is a story for all,
I am big time Buick Grand National guy and boy is someone in trouble. This
is all true, not bullshit. They sold a GNX on friday that was supposed to
belong to Reggie Jackson. He bought it to replace the first one he lost in
his fire in 1988. For those who dont know, the GNX was a limited run of
"special" Grand Nationals of which they made 547 total. The Barrett Jackson
websight had pictures of a T-top car on it. They never made a T-top GNX. The
forum I belong to for Turbo Buicks has a member who was an engineer for ACS
McLaren, who built the run of 547. He has every VIN number in order. Barrett
Jackson advertised it as car #12. It went across the block as car 12. The
only problem is a guy who lives about 15 miles from my house has had car #12
for 24 years and its not for sale!!! Now everyone is trying to figure out if
someone cloned one up good enough to fool B.J. If so, someone is in BIG
trouble. A few of our forum members were e-mailing the auction to let them
know and my buddy, Rich, called the guy who has #12 this morning and he said
he has already been told the story and is helping out any way he can. So
much for them knowing their shit and researching every car. All they had to
do was go to GNX registry.com and see who owned it. They are all accounted
for except a dozen or so. I cant wait to here what happens with this. The
guys on the Buick forum were all checking their storage sights for theft and
counting off this morning. These cars with low miles sell for as high as
$100,000.00 or more. The #12 they sold on T.V. went for $67,000.00 What a
story huh? Makes you wonder how many other fakes or falsely ID'd cars have
sold for HUGE $$$ and are not worth it.

Good call on the customs being the big sellers.

Even the original 1965 Plymouth A-990 altered wheelbase car was only around
the
$70,000 area.

All in all, it looks to me that prices are still down. Biggest seller was
around $300,000. No mega-million sales this year. Hope this is only an
indication of the current economy and not the continuation of a permanent
downward spiral on prices for our cars. While my '65s are not investments, I
sure wouldn't want to sell them for $10-15,000.

One thing to consider is that all cars at the sale are not #1 or even solid
#2s. When we went there a couple of years ago, we looked at a '65 Satellite
that looked great in the pictures and even on camera but was a weak #2 car
at
best.

The 3 1963 Max Wedge cars on Barrett-Jackson went for $61,000, $63,000
and $73,000, including commissions. I would've thought they'd have
fetched more. Customs were the rage.
