    guy claims to be in Italy
    selling 70 Shelby and 66 v8 Mustang
    shipping free to florida
    send him $3000 Western Union and pay balance in Miami.
    ask him for a VIN and state registration and he runs like a rabbit

    buyers beware!
    if it sounds too good to be true

    eBay really needs to get some type of Filter system as the same B-S scams pop up over and over again!! They must sucker somebody in to sending money otherwise they would not keep trying!!

    Yep, this is a modified "Nigerian Scam". Read more about it, go to www.cobracountry.com, and in their search box, type in Nigerian Scam and get the story. Had a friend selling an Everett-Morrison last year, and dealt with someone trying to rip him off. I see more and more bad stuff like this on Evil Bay, if anyone buys a car sight unseen, they get what they deserve, or with ridiculously stupid instructions on the $$ transaction. Last summer there were hundreds of scam ads that I saw, you had to set yourself up as a bidder with the seller, the reserve price was ridiculously low, and most of the photos, of the Shelby's were from SAAC related webpages, and even some of these jackasses were stupid enough to use the cars that are being sold by Mershons. If you look at a lot of ads, Mershons photographs the car in front of their own building, in the same exact spot!! Duh! These obviously work tho, one born every minute... :angry:

    I agree, If anyone is stupid enough to purchase a Shelby at a low "buy it now" price, I've got some Oceanfront property here in Michigan I'll sell real cheap as I ned to come up with some funds to purchase the new
