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).

Too much....what's a car guy's world come to? . Pretty clever the fake eBay setup though....I tried clicking on a few things but they're either duds or ask for your eBay password! . Too bad on the duped buyers....the real price actually looks like a pretty good deal! ~ Pete

[skierkaj]

Holy Crap!!! WTF is going on? I copied and pasted the link directly from ebay, and it gives a totally different web address!!! The link I posted looks nothing like the Ad I first saw!!! The Ad I found looked genuine enough to be an actual auction, but the link looks totally fake!
