Nice collection; parted out through Mecum, when the taping ended. He closed the interview with, “I’m having too much fun to quit now.”, and then sold them, and the NC property, right after that...

No NC license plates on the cars, but spotted 2 with FL plates. http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/images/graemlins/skep.gif

One pre- '90 C4; didn't look like a Z...

Something just was fishy about this guy...

From US PUBLIC [US GOV'T] Record:

Mr. Pardo alleges that he traveled from his residence in New York to St. Charles, Illinois,
where he attended a Corvette auction organized and operated by Mecum. At the auction, Mr.
Pardo placed the high bid and bought a car owned by William and Jan Mullis after viewing a
certificate issued by NCRS that described the vehicle as a 1967 black Corvette. Mr. Pardo
subsequently discovered that the car was actually a 1964 red Corvette. His complaint asserts that
the defendants defrauded him and caused him to purchase the wrong vehicle.

Seems like Mullis could have come up with the barn-find custom, factory-ordered '53 1 of 1 'Polo' BLACK vette :mrgreen:


But does Mecum sell ANYthing, without checking? If a seller produces an NCRS Certificate, fresh off of his Lexmark LaserJet, does Mecum just say 'Looks Great'???


Anyone here sold a car through Mecum? Any waivers / dis-claimers / liability releases requiring signatures?

Anyone seen the final disposition on this case? This is DEFINITELY interesting here. Looks like it went through IL 16th JD (Kane Co), AFTER judge let Mecum off the hook.

One (OR BOTH - WHO KNOWS???) of the below '67's, lot s41 and s42, [dis]respectively, turned out to be a hack - a 'Red '64.

Schrade you are right, I looked it up on the web and from what I read it seems to be a fraud. 67 vette actually is a 64. Also color change too? I don't know but I'll bet there is a waiver releasing Mecum from liability of mis-representation. I've read other stories about auction cars from different auction companies having mis-representations. I wonder what it sold for?

I was looking too there Franke, for sale price... I think only Mecum members can get the $$ info.

Anyone else here know anything on this one? Or how Mecum works???

Not lookin' good for more parties than just 1 here...................................
