68 Bloomington Gold with wrong equipment
Went into the C3 registry to see if I could find my 68 all original 427/390that I sold in 1998 and found it in the C3 registry with Bloomington Gold, Benchmark and survivor awards owned by Barrett jackson Auction. They list all the original documentation-invoice, sales order, etc. and show pictures of the award winning car with the wrong hubcaps and tires. The car was ordered with PO 2s hubcaps and redline tires, and the pictures showed the base hub and black raised letter tires.
Hey I know this is an irrelevant post to everyone but me, but hey guys at Barrett Jackson get the equipment right if you hold the car out to be exactly like it left the factory and have the awards and documentation to prove it.

I'm skeptical of buying any pedigree car from the big name auctions.
There is no way of refuting the documentation if its bogus.
Sometimes a mutt purchased locally turns out to be more
original than the auction house cars.
Just my opinion but been down the collector road in other
fields and see this thing all the time.

The Barrett Jackson 2011 Florida auction web site only listed reserve not met and had pictures of the car. No idea what the reserve was-my guess way too high. I sold the car in 97 during a depressed classic car market. Traditionally when the stock market goes up, the value of classic cars levels off or goes down and vice versa as some people at least yrs ago looked at these cars as an investment alternate to the stock market.
