Quote from: edd1e22 on Today at 03:42:24 AMIf revology is smart, they will bid up this car privately to ensure it closes at a good number.

Didn't a bunch of dealers get caught doing that with 308 Ferrari's in the 80's 
Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

In answer to above question Shelby did not build the Cars, it was a company called Unique.

They were built for "customers"

Shelby had very little to do with the builds other than to collect a royalty.

A good friend of mine worked for Revology for a few months. The car bodies were all Dynacorn and my friends job was getting them to fit correctly which he said required a great deal of time.

To each his own I guess.

I think it is part of the current phenomena in which people travel information wise? It can be seen in other subjects as well. I think that could be accurately called, pretty much documented right now?

Advertising people will talk about how you reach people to make your case.


There just are going to be people that deny reality as some kind of a conspiracy thing? The original cars in this case being the conspiracy and the copies somehow the genuine article? A kind of inverse Universe.

I agree that I would rather have an original, and I do.  But for example, the continuing line of "Elanors" constantly outsell original cars at the auctions. What's that about? That defies logic.

So philosophically it seems to be a valid observation that we are living in multi-dimensional existence simultaneously?


Falling back on earlier less complicated times, I refer to a lyric quote from the "Mashal Tucker Band", "heard it in a love song...can't be wrong!"

Some things you just can't figure, so don't waste your time on trying to. You can't fix it or maybe stated differently, "you can't fix stupid".

No crime in doing that but you do run the risk of buying your own car at an inflated price. The big stink in the 80s was the auctions were being used to launder money. Stick your car in the auction and have some front guy (usually with a foreign passport) buy it for big money with your own ill gotten cash. The frontman sells you your car back (taking his fee) and you get a clean check from the auction house.
