Take care here and beware as I tried asking this seller a couple questions about docs, rivets and what matching #'s meant to him just so it would appear in the auction...as I processed the message, eBay made notice to me that the seller speaks another language and is actually from another eBay site!!??.

I recall this car from a year or so ago too and wonder if this is actually a trickster deal, maybe the scammers are getting smarter and waiting a while before scooping a listing and putting it out there?.

The seller responded to my questions...kind've..

Q;
What documents are you referring to that confirms this car was an L78 car new?.
Does your 'numbers matching' comment mean this is THE original engine, trans etc or just that the numbers match?.
Has the cowl trim tag been changed or ever off the car?.

A;
"Everything on the car is original I believe. And I'm not sure about the L78"

-------

The english isn't bad, more like typical poor grammar but didn't really answer the questions...seems very unknowledgable for someone who owns this car also couldn't be who wrote the eBay ad?.

And why don't the questions and answer show in the below area of the listing...does a seller have the power to allow this to show or not or was it because I chose the general question about the item thing...or what?.

Yes, seller has the discretion whether or not to post questions and their replies. Actually a good thing from a seller's perspective, since you can get questions that detract from your listing if posted.
