To good to be true

While looking at Ebay I saw this GTX for sale. Does anyone smell a rat?

Buy it now for 8000? all they need is your ebay name and email ...this is a scam.
I've seen these get pulled off of ebay before ...like the 'Cuda for 6000!

Yup, it's a scam. That same car was recently on ebay from another seller....with a much higher price!

I don't recall seeing it on there before, but it's way too nice to sell for eight grand. I remember during a class in high school, 8) I was looking on ebay and saw an ad for an "all-original 9000 mile" 1971 Hemi Cuda coupe that was lemon twist with black billboards and an automatic. Buy it now price.....$11,000!!!! :haha: If that was a real car and in the shape shown in the pics, more like $111,000 or maybe even more than that. Sometimes I think ebay is a crock, like rusted out coronets and other "junkyard" mopars with no engine, no title, no interior, but a whole lot of rust with reserves over $5,000. Then there are the "mint" cars with no reserves, or un-believable buy it now prices. :mad:

I think my dad sold his hemi charger for about that, because everybody told him that with the gas shortages, nobody would ever want his car-haha. He had a 65 Cuda fastback and an AAR Cuda, too-sold because of the "gas shortage." :mad:

Yep listing has been removed.I was looking to buy a snowmobile a couple of years ago and it seemed like all the auctions that wanted pre approved bidders were scams!
