Reply to "Pantera #4524 - 3800 Mile Pantera?"

On Saturday they had their preview.
After about 2 seconds I could see that this Pantera 4524 had WAY over 3,800 miles. There was a 1/16 inch grove cut into the shift lever and the inside part of the shift gate had all the chrome worn off at the second gear position. This was one of many signs that the car had over the stated and advertised 3,800 miles. I called one of the auction attendants to have a look and asked if I could see the documentation they had on the car. He took me to the white trailer and they pulled the file they had on the car. We reviewed the title and the very next paper was a Bill of Sale from 1977 clearly showing the miles on the car at that time being just over 32,000. I asked if I could snap a quick picture of the Bill of Sale then I pointed this out to Vanderbrink Auctions. They said that they would announce a correction at the time of the auction, which they did not.
Vanderbrink had heavily promoted this car as being a 3,800 mile car and in their own file that they had for the car showed it had over 32,000 in 1977.
Their way of correcting the problem, make the Bill of Sale go away.
So here it is for all to see
I thought auctioneers had to meet a standard of ethics to obtain a license.
I will be sending this to Provamo as well as any Pantera registry for documentation on 4524.
Will have to say, car had a nice body and lots of potential, but not 3,800 miles
