I don't normally do this, but...

I saw a nice 67 BB Coupe pop on the Vancouver Craigslist yesterday (since flagged for removal) for a mere $18,000 - so I e-mailed them. Got a response today:

"Thanks for being interested in buying my 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe. It is in a good condition, no scratches, no damages, never been implicated in any accidents, no problems at the engine, runs very well. The car is registered in Cookstown, ON, has a CLEAR and CLEAN TITLE and you will not have any problems to register the car in your name. It has an 427ci 390HP engine, 4-speed manual transmission, 26,000 km's, VIN 194377S116416, a perfect car. The price is not negotiable, $18,000.00 firm. I know that this is a low price for such a good car, but I need to buy a house and I decided to sell my car. I hope that you will agree with my price and there will not be any argues regarding my price. I would like to complete this transaction asap, cause I need money asap and I don't have so much time at my disposal. If you have any other questions, please reply me.
Thank you,"

So, I did a google search on the VIN, and it's for sale on e-bay (Item number: 160261865735) with 19 hours to go and bids up over $69,000.

RED ALERT!

Ya think we should tell the e-bay bidders?

Buy it you get free shipping and a buy back if you dont like it. Thats why it was flagged. he stole it from Ebay.

Take a look at the eBay user name paulp6558, then take a look at the name on the NCRS cert. Paul Posesorski. Who is the person claiming to own the car in the craigslist ad? Is it Paul? Ask for a phone number to speak with him in person.

This is so obviously some foreigner attempting a classic car scam. Who here writes like that? The ebay ad is probably legit.

That's the dealeo, some maroon lifted some of the info from the legit eBay ad to make his/her own sub-par Craigslist ad. Happens all the time !

Nice spotting. I wonder if 6558 is Paul's NCRS membership number. The Craigslist seller claimed to be 'Eleanor'...
