Item Listed- Still looks like a scam Also My supervisor is Phyllis Thomas LOL! Also why would you sell that car for $2800 looks pretty nice for that amount.
Last week my son showed me a resently restored 68 camaro for $5200. He said we should get it. The seller was asking folks to contact him via email because it had to be a quick sale. I told my son that it didn't look right. searching a little further we found the same set of pics and discription on a car with a $45,000 reserve. The $5200 one was gone the next day. Be careful out there!
You lucky Bastard! The 72 Olds I won had an "in-complete" rear end. Boy do I feel like an ass now. SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
