<p>So Curt, you may be saying that this car does not
match what a car with that chassis number should
look like. Don't BJ8s have the chassis number
stamped on the right front shock mount? So it ma=

be titled with the wrong chassis number. That is=
a greater concern to me than being the wrong color

<p>When I saw it on the screen when it came up for
auction, I thought that it probably isn't really a
'65 due to the double parking/ts lights. Then I
figured it was just an error on the year they put
on the title. But this is much more serious an
issue since the chassis number does not indicate
it is a Phase 2 BJ8, when it definitely looks like
one.</p>

<div>Did anyone else notice in the very first
photo the right front wing wheel opening? Th=

metal work looks a bit inconsistent and the
opening is not consistently round? Compare to
the right rear wheel opening. Maybe it's the=
angle of the photo, I don't know? The left
front opening looks much better.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All this said, it's easy to pick a car
apart and overall, any criticisms can be
repaired, albeit at a cost, but then the high
bid of $67.5K may reflect these observations.
It is an overall good looking car none the
less, even with its flaws.</div>
