Don't remember the year,but it was when Unique in Texas was making the Eleanor cars.........they were selling the "standard Eleanor" for $150,000.00........
They ran one of the first ones thru BJ that year and "someone" ran the bidding up to around $185,000.00 and it sold for that price!!!!!!!!!!!
Funny thing, 2 weeks later the same car/SAME VIN was sitting in Uniques showroom for sale by the dealership and their new add stated:
Barrett/Jackson has set the price on these one of a kind cars,buy one for $150,000.00, drive it and enjoy it and in a year or two sell it at BJ and MAKE MONEY on it.......
If you believe BJ/RM/Mecum are all honest people, goggle lawsuits against them and see what pops up, pages and pages of legal action against all three for things they have done......
