The Wilhelm Brothers collection was a super legit collection. The 100k (suspicious in itself... exactly 100k?) was part of their shady operations. They upped the mileage for insurance and tax purposes and was part of their fraud charges. The 321 miles were/are accurate.
I've tried to respond with the most logical evidence possible. As I said, I was familiar with the Wilhelm brothers auction when they initially sold the first time by Hoffman Auctions in Ohio. Here's a youtube link that explains and shows what they had and the actual auction of the truck in question. If you still believe this vehicle or possibly ALL the other low mileage vehicles were "blown apart", I won't argue with you. However, a lot of people through multiple auction houses probably weren't duped. For example, I doubt the '89 K5 Blazer with less than 30 miles would ever have crossed the Barrett-Jackson block without a completely thorough inspection and verification by their experts. BJ wouldn't have risked their reputation if there was any question of its authenticity as presented. This one vehicle may have slipped through with all the other vehicles having been restored, but I don't think so. THese guys may have been shady, but they invested their shady money in top notch '80s-'90s era vehicles.
