GS's in Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction

Yep, first time for me. Looking forward to it.

 

Going, but not buying....

Out of Walpole, right? I think it had a digital stick on clock on the dash when it was on eBay in 02 or 03. You can still see the spot where it was in the BJ photos.

 

Yes jimmy bought it and sold it to a guy in the Midwest

 

Thanks for the info. I would say that anyone buying at a B-J auction better do their homework, because I'd think almost everyone reading that description would assume it's a documented Stage 1. Maybe it's not outright false, but it's definitely deceptive. And I'd be really hot under the collar if I went all the way to Scottsdale to bid on the stage 1 and find out after I got there that it wasn't. Not that I've accumulated the life savings you need to bid on any B-J car :Brow:.

 

In my book, the fact that car has stage 1 fender emblems and air cleaner decal makes it a clone, even if the engine is dead stock 455. I don't have any problem with clones if they're identified as such, but B-J is guilt of deceptive practice here by not disclosing this one.

 

Well BJ doesnt write the description the sellers do .And I knew they dont get the Sloan or Wayne report for every car they consign.All they want is the 18% commision :laugh:

The Buick only list

 

Still doesn't work. Their web site for some reason does not allow direct links. It reverts back to the main car list page. :spank:

caveat emptor....

 

Exactly

 

Mike you going to BJ this year?

 

I bought my tickets to Barrett,,,,I'm gonna come home with that 66.just sayin

 

me me me!!!! I cant wait!!!!

 

The car is an original real deal stage 1 4 speed has the original motor the rear has been changed to a 12 bolt... Bud Kearney of Walpole owned the car for 30 years till I bought it off him in 05... I remember going to the bus stop when I was a kid and hearing that thing rumble up the road...very impresive car...was tuned nice... I sold it to a Fred Engelheart ..he sold it to the Torino collection..and he was going to do a frame off on it..I guess he decided not to and its here for sale at Barrett... I dont think the car will do high numbers due the fact that its a driver..I guess time will tell....I cant wait to go there and watch it go through...

 

Do you know if the original exhaust manifolds, steering wheel, radio ect went with it ? Bud said he thought they did. He sent me the maintence log since 1975 :shock:, nice to see someone anal as me :laugh:

I never got the original steering wheel...it had a 3 spoke on it...the manifolds radio...we sold with the car...being that it went to Fred Englheart..I'm sure that stuff is gone...

 

Which day or days would be the best to attend?o No:

Thanks!

 

Fri-Sat are the best cars, and most exspensive door passes. I believe most these Buick are going Fri and Sat evenings.
