Default 1965 Stingray Convertible 350 4spd

Hello,

A little old lady wants to sell a gem of a Stingray for under 17K. Says she bought it for her Husband's birthday, he has since passed on. Asked why so cheap, no reply. From SC around Manning, can't get a hold of her on the phone, but answers emails late in the day. Sounds a bit fishy???

I wanted to warn anybody thinking that this would be legit. I am still stringing her on. The catch is that they say they will use "PaySafeescrow" bu they want you to add "support@SafePaye.us" to your contacts so they can send you the sales agreement. Looks like they want you to send money to a bogus site. Once the dust settles I'll post all the info I collected as a warning about scams....

Just tell her you have cash on the spot, I want to come TOUCH the car. If not its a scam. These have been around for years.

Rut roh!

Should've bought it from Alma.

Looks like the price really jumped, 57,990!

Lots of pictures, here:

Caveat emptor, ALWAYS.

Alma has been around a long time, seen her plenty . Its always good to see where these things go as long as you dont send them cash. I am wondering if the paper is a free paper or you need to pay to place an add?

Google her email. You will find numerous ads, some expired, and several phone numbers. Google the phone numbers and any other leads you find in the ads.
