Alleged fake CJ Convertible goes for $185K

[69grandecj 0]

An Indian Fire '69 SCJ convertible sold for $185K at Barrett Jackson last Saturday. There had been rumours back in the mid-90s that it was a fake done by Bruce Weiss. I hadn't heard anything in recent years so I thought the Marti report put it to rest that is was real. Well on VMF Kevin Marti posted today and it is not the real deal.

Someone is going to be pissed once he finds out. Unless he does not mind paying $185K for a "recreation" or "tribute" car that B-J likes to call them.

Poor guy. In a way that's what they get for throwing big bucks around and thinking just because it's at BJ it's legit. I watched some of it thought it was funny and all a big joke for the most part. Like when Bo Duke jumped on top of the General Lee. They might have got more money out of it if he hadn't put a big ass dent in the roof by standing on it. But 400k for a car that a guy just danced on the roof of was pretty good I guess...Bj said it was "way under the money" so it must have been a good deal:001_huh: .

I'd say 4ooK was a good deal. That thing most likely has the 765HP he was bragging about in "JR Coulier and Company: Hot Pursuit". Look at all the 3/4$B supercars that only barely beat the figure.

 

BTW, the forum link doesn't link directly to what Marti wrote...any help?

hmmm, interesting. it sucks that people do this with these cars. however Kevin was kind of vague on the one of zero thing, and it doesn't look like he ever expounded on that at all. it makes me wonder if he meant it wasn't a 428 car at all or if it wasn't a 428 car with those options or what.

VMF says the rumor is the buyer questioned afterward and was released from the buy.

[Mace 10]

It's still a bunch of BS that some people would be so fraudulent.

[Mufflerbearing 0]

I think the Feds should kick his ass and put him in the slammmer with Mike Vick!!!!! :scared:That would set the tone that this kind of sh$t will not be tolerated.

Update: The guy asked for the Marti report and found out it was fake. He was able to back out of the purchase. The guy selling the car should still be charged for falsifying the vin plate.

[Truck 12]

Tell the seller i'll give him $.17 for it.
