Name: Cynthia Rohe
City/State: Towson - MD
Zip: 21286
Country: United States

I am not that far away from Towson. Give me the address and I'll stop by.

[vette1969]

dont have a address thats all i was sent in the email.might be in the phone book.sorry to here the fellow that sent $2500 got burnt but people should realize that you cant buy cars like these for $6500.i look on ebay all the time and you see the same type of auction pop up.last one i saw was a L88 vette with a buy it now for $8500 which we all know is nuts.

skierkaj - how did you come across the "ebay" listing? Since its fake I'm guessing you found a link to it on a classified site, yes?

If so, these guys have found a way to do this outside of ebay so the "auction" doesn't get shut down. Place an ad on an enthusiast site and include a link to your fake ebay auction that's hosted on some anonymous site, get some sucker to bite and then email him posing as ebay to tell him how to complete the transaction. These guys must be making a killing.

Let's see... Silver Yenko, center console M40, VIN is 32nd car built in '68.

small block heater box!but 6k for a clone is still a good deal!hahahaha!

Funny, its not even on the ebay site so ebay can't shut it down. Try some of the links, they don't even work. Click on the bid history, there's 161 available (of some art print that doesn't match the auction).
