Keith,
Believe me, I understand your point of view, but ............maybe you misread
me?
For concours or for value purposes, what difference if car 4357 was
originally OEW. and is now Gold, if cars of the same model and year were
factory painted gold? ...maybe even the next one off the line.
I could see a problem if say gold was not an option originally for the car's
model and year, but otherwise, what's the difference? Last I checked, even
the Concours people didn't care. The only other case where I'd think it would
be improper, would be if a color was originally quite rare and a car were
switched to that color to falsely increase it's value.

Dave,
I agree with you on this. I find it strange that someone would pay $131k
for a car that was not originally golden. I thought that the real big dollars
went for cars which were complete, rare, and restored as original to a very
high standard.
If the buyer wanted a golden BJ8 seems to me he/she could buy one and have
it restored to the same level for considerably less than $141k.
But on the other hand, as someone else pointed out you have the excitement
of the auction/adrenaline/alcohol/impressing others/etc going on.
