No phone number, I would be doubtful that it's legit.

That is low $ for that car. I'd buy it for that. He correctly decoded the trim tag and it is supposed to have a white top as stated, but pics show a black top.

Saved the info if anyone who missed what all the hype/scam was probably about.

Who knows, maybe it was legit and just sold that quickly ;-)

I bet you will get an email in approximately one week that goes something like this:

Hello and thanks for the interest in the car. It is in perfect condition with no issues at all at the moment. I am currently out of the country and will need to do the transaction online.... blablabla"

they always pull that crap. it must have happened to me three to four times

I just got an email and it said they feel they are asking too much for the car, they will ship it to me along with title and if I like it please forward whatever I think is appropriate to an Indiana address

Sorry guys. I thought that it was legit. There was just so much detail that you normally don't see in a scam add. Also, there are quite a few rich bastards in the Noblesville/Fishers/Carmel area that might actually have a Indy Pace Car collection like that.

Seems to be...

The seller

(Dec 20th, 2010)


and the buyer
http://feedback.ebay.com/ebaymotors/...&mPg=10&page=3
(Dec 22nd, 2010)

...or maybe its the ever so elaborate scam-upon-a-scam
