Check out this LS6 Scam

I can't believe how well those photoshopped pics came out! The crazy thing is that I spoke to this guy at his home from a number listed in the phone book! He obviously is either really stupid or has the biggest balls ever

He said the car hadn't moved in 10 years and that his friend's father had owned it and passed away. He even explained to me why the alt was wrong and the vent was missing on the cowl etc. He said that he took the pics last summer.

Is his name Kurt..

Looks suspiciously like the MO of Kurt. I don't know this seller, but this is at the very least, quite suspicious. My guess is, and this is just a guess, that the problem (for him) is that you were local. A US bidder may have lost money big time on this deal.

That is how Kurt operated. "Sell" the car, get the money, and then either no delivery, or deliver a pile of junk instead.

Nothing against our Canadian neighbors, but I would be afraid to purchase almost anything from Canada on ebay.

I suspect you are right Lynn about why he pulled the ad. It wasn't Kurt though as it was a Sudbury, Ontario number. I think his name was Warren if I recall correctly. I wouldn't buy any car without setting eyes on it in person or via an inspection.

The pix in the B-J auction catalog were taken at Valenti Classics, a dealer in SE Wisconsin.

Well I consider myself a master in Photoshop. Look at the placement of the tire lettering. The tires are rotated. Besides there is really no way possible to remove the grass from the "through the tinted windshield". Also the BJ pic has a front license plate bracket that appears to have the name mentioned above, "Valenti Classics, a dealer in SE Wisconsin" IMO

There is a pair of brothers in ontario that scam people from the states selling fake cars. One lives in the states one lives here and they go back and forth.

I agree with the glass thing . . . no way in heck.

Try enlarging the photo . . . comes out grainy. A hint of texture to hide the lines???? Super good try though!!!

It would'nt surprize me if some scammer went down to BJ to get his yearly suppy of pictures for his eventual scams. What better place to be.
