I get the impression this guy wants you to send him 25 Gs to restore this car then he'll give it to you? Am I reading this right? Amusing.

Looks like he's trying again?? Either he's a scammer or he's one heck of an optimist!

Its funny...Who would put their name as "vg"..Also, his whole discription looks like one big sentence. Meaning there is no or hardly no (.,!' :;) punctuation marks. Anyway, I think I'll be sending him the $$$ he needs, NOT...LOL
People will try anything to scam money. Though I didn't read the whole discription, I wonder how many people will respond to his ebay ad.

Just wondering, does "vg" mean very good?..LOL

As you say VG must mean very good, near the bottom he states the car can be restored in 2 to 4 weeks.

I must remember to visit him on that planet of his sometime, lol. In the condition it's in I'd say the car's worth $3500 tops.

of course its a scam,why give someone all that money,when you can just do all the work yourself?.but then again,he has the vehicles,so you cant buy the vehicle unless its gonna be restored by him..
Just like Barret Jackson assholes.they spend almost a mill on a car they will never drive and constantly worry about,when you can take that same amount of money and make a totally nice custom vehicle

The guy who did the roof repair on my Runner just lost 17 THOUSAND dollars on EBAY. The seller of a vehicle insisted on being paid in full for a truck. He seemed legitimate (to them anyway) so they sent him the money. Not the brightest move, eh?
