Read the narrative:

Great Engrish!

If the guy could spell worth a damn, it would help the ad. Scammers can NEVER spell.

Hey I resemble that remark , I've got 9 years of college under my belt, and I'm not a scammer, a flipper or any other derogatory type of person, wait I'm a dentist....I can't spell worth a sh-t either.

Although I suspect that it is a scam, I do know that quite a few muscle cars left this country for Japan back in the late '80's/early 90's when prices were going through the roof. Quite a few of them have come back over the years. I remember seeing a '69 GT 500 at a car show about 8 years ago that had been brought back to the USA from Japan.

You have a good sense of humor Doc, almost as good as the Dentist in little shop of horrors

I still like the part about the car sh*tting in a warehouse after you pay him in full. I busted up on that one. (Yes. This is the exporter, we have your piece of sh*t ! It is sh*tting in our warehouse !)

Makes more sense for an honest man/seller not to require more than the shipping fee to get it here. At minimum the Car would be delivered if it was declined, and then easier for him to re-sell. Some of his feedback is funny.

I wouldn't touch the deal unless I lived within viewing distance of his house.

Just pay for half the purchase price now! What a deal.

Notice the end date of Dec 22, 2005 on the auction and then Jan 26, 2006 on the relisted item.

Here is a picture of the car I downloaded off the internet Dec 19, 2005.

Really odd that these auction pages are still available after 3 years. Seller must have copied the HTML from the old ads.

What's with all these ancient threads being resurrected by the same poster?

And links to photobucket pics in many of them?

Do you use a better hosting service? I started with Tinypic. But, after a while, they delete the photos. Much valuable material got lost. I also use Imageshack. But, it's so long since, that I forgot my hande there

They use on-line free translators and those are the results you get most of the time...

What you should have asked him for is its address as you have a friend in Japan that can go out and look at it for you..bet his answer would have been different then...:stu pid:
