Moss green "67" GT500 at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale

Anyone still surprised at BJ's decscription?

They print the story they are given. I'm sure if you read the fine print in their catalog and or bidding/sales documents there is a clause that all claims are made by the seller and BJ accepts no liability as to accuracy. Otherwise they would get sued on most cars they sell.

That's why I find it hard to understand the allure of buying an expensive car at auction.  You're potentially up against a seller submitting a bunch of bullshit about the car or you are up against reserves and bidding against shill bidders or you could be bidding against the house so that they can run up the bid in order to meet a reserve.

There are many pitfalls about buying at auction and it's not for the faint of heart.

I realize there are upsides to buying at auction but I would never make an expensive purchase at auction unless I had an in depth knowledge of the car, owner and history if I was interested in purchasing said car.

As they say "buyer beware".

I am from CA. I left after 36 years. There were no actual mileage titles on anything 35 years or older. Post the event of mandatory inspection/smog they may be available for some vehicles.

I was born in California and have lived in California for 45 years... AND YES I have actual mileage titles on most of my old cars... All depends on your documentation and your "help at dmv"

I won't bother elaborating being I was med retired from the CHP thanks to a drunk illegal with two priors. If you want me to explain fact to you, feel free to PM me.

Love the options on this one but what do you think about the description "mostly original body & drivetrain parts  " & "title exempt" i looked it up in "97" registry & it says it was raced with a 427 but ad claims original motor any other info out there on this one thanks.

Lot #1427 - Beautiful, original 1967 Shelby GT500. This car is equipped with mostly original body and drivetrain parts with minimal touchup to the paint. Still retaining its original 428ci Police Interceptor engine, 4-speed transmission and Traction-Lok rear end. Amazingly, this car only has less than 30,000 original miles (title reads exempt), as verified by the SAAC. Owned by the previous owner for over 22 years and the current owner for 9 years, it has been well-kept in climate-controlled warehouses for the past 31 years. One of 64 produced in this paint and trim package. The original Shelby Owner's Manual and a Marti Report is included to document this magnificent car, which is listed in the Shelby American World Registry.

New description with not so subtle changes:

Lot #1427 - Beautiful, original 1967 Shelby GT500. It's powered by a 428ci V8 Police Interceptor engine paired with a matching-numbers 4-speed manual transmission and Traction-Lok rear end.

What exactly does a BJ Ford car scrutinizer for the auction company do and who does he work for?

[427heaven]

[/quote]They inspect cars for vin issues , rebodies,accuracy of descriptions etc. as far as I am aware. There may be other responsibilities. They work for BJ company. BJ doesn't want to have any problems with buyers after the fact would my take. I have heard of some upset sellers when they found out that their car would not pass scrutiny  .

Thats a good thing at least there actually checking the cars a little bit.

[1967 eight barrel]

What a mess.  Non-Ford radiator, single sheave alternator, incorrect power steering pump to head spacer, power steering pulley....
Just the items noted with a quick visual inspection.

Hammered at $190k it was a nice looking car I went in up to $180k

[terlingua11]

Anyone on this site buy it?

[sfm5s081]

I guess it's on par with the restored one at RM that sold for $200 hammer. I prefer the original ones
