[DeTomaso] Barrett Jackson GTS

[Julian Kift]

It is fairly common knowledge that BJ owns many of the cars under auction, they bid them up and the cars return to BJ's warehouse, thus driving up prices on similar such cars. Do some research and there is article after article on BJ's questionable practices, like they say "there's no smoke without fire".
