[Held for Ransom]

As far as I'm concerned, how can one even bid on this car with no proof until after winning the auction? And, how does one clone this car?

Holy Cow,
I agree HFR, after reading so many horror stories about misrepresented vehicles, who in their right mind would bid or seek to put forth a winning bid?

Also, what's up with one of one ? Is seller referring to the black on black ? Probably but Doubt that can be proven.

The seller seems naive but with 11 bids already, maybe I'm naive !
There is not even any mention of #s matching drive train. If I'm a cash buyer, I'm saying no thanks to this one, hardly any info and far, far too much left to imagination

I asked him, if there was a price at which he would sell now. His answer.....

"YES THERE IS $785,000 NO LESS"

I PREDICT THE AUCTION WILL GO TO $784,999

Since I am pissimest an this auction has some flaws, here is my theory:

The guy runs the auction claiming to have all knowledge of the vehicle. He keeps baiting potential buyers, of which there are many (including myself). You win the auction and go to check out the vehicle. You arrive, inspect the vehicle, and realize that it has issues. Since you have more than likely arrived with a check or cash in hand, the seller tries to make a deal at a lower price. He's betting that you'll bite at the reduced price after having traveled a vast distance and spent the money to do so.

I've been there more times than I care to admit.

Now, there is always the possibility that this guy is telling the truth and this car is legit. If that is the case, someone on this forum knows the car and its history and is trying to obtain it. Most of these cars have been tracked for many years. I only hope that the next owner is an enthuiast, rather than a flipper.

This particular car is one of those few that I've always wanted, but was impossible to find. Now it's impossible to own unless you are a millionaire.

Even a scan of the PHS with part of the vin covered would help in giving the bidders some peace of mind. A better engine bay shot would be nice too.
$75,000.00 + right now with 9+ days to go. This should be interesting!

umm ... uhh ... 785k ?

Had no idea I was that far out of the loop. I would have predicted 175-225k on the bidding. 785k - it must just be more of a publicity stunt.

By members on this board, there have been no less than 1 auto and 1 4spd Blk/Blk 70 IV Judge.

Agree that a scan of PHS with whatever blocked out would be more than just mildly appropriate.

I'll stick with that range. If have to pick one number ... I'll pick 185k.

The link Judge273 posted is a frame off resto 70 GTO Vert III/auto. BIN of $7800. Scam Slammers had bid it up to over 85.5 million dollars. Now it's removed.
