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. Lynn |

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!!!

The pics are almost identical except..check out the steering wheel and the turn signal. hmmm I (almost, like 99%) know this would not have been done in Photoshop. The steering wheel is turned very slightly.

One other thing that is similar is the spot of sunshine about the size of a quarter on the console. Looks to me that they are of the same car, just taken a few min apart.
On one you can just see the point of light on the console and the BJ shows it much bigger. One was taken perhaps 5 min later than the other. Pantera ![]()

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.
