The Golden Beige BJ-8's BMIHT Cert was taped to the cars windshield
throughout the week for anyone to read while the car was on display prior to
being auctioned. That was not misrepresenting the car.
I recall seeing a BRG BJ8 at this or another BJ auction that had an
improperly fitting trunk lid. When fully closed it wasn't flush with the
rear shroud. I opened it to get a closer look and the trunk seal was missing
completely. Was it simply forgetten or was it left out intentionally because
if it was installed it would make the trunk lid fit even worse? If the
latter is the case would this be misrepresentation? I've got my opinion and
guess who the restorer was? Tanner?-NOT!!!!
