Hello,
As the seller, I would like to take a moment to personally thank you for
your interest in my 1968 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE. I know that you
have many choices out there and I appreciate your interest. I hope you are
serious in your intention for buying. Don`t take it personally, but I am
tired with people who offer to buy my car and in the end they turn out to be
scammers. Anyway, the car is available and I guess you could be the owner of
the Chevy if everything turns out all right and you are serious about
buying. Let me tell you a few things about it : the car is in excellent
condition, everything works and there is no sign of rust anywhere. The title
is clean and fully transferable. It is built for US market, it fully meets
all US emission standards and you will have no problems whatsoever
registering it there. It has 47,014 original miles. More specifications:

ALL NUMBERS MATCHING!
Engine: 427 cubic inch Tri-power with 435 hp Turbo-Jet V-8
Transmission: M21 Close Ratio 4-speed manual
Axle: Positract 355R
Exterior: Rally Red - Flawless Condition
Interior: Black Leather - Flawless Condition
Ignition: Full Transistor
Windshield: Factory Tinted


I can provide more photos and info if you like, and if you are indeed
interested in buying. The car belonged to my late husband, who died 8 months
ago serving in the UN peace keping force detached there from Slovakia. He
took great pride in his car and loved it a lot, but I really don`t like this
kind of classic cars, I just don`t see it as a woman`s car. I preffer
driving arround in my 911 Porsche. This is why I decided to sell the
Corvette. I am located in Bratislava, Slovakia. My final price on this is US
13.600$. I know it seems a little low, but I will be quite happy to get rid
of it, believe me, ever since my husband passed away, it just sits useless
in my garage, and nothing would make me happier than to know that the car
will be taken care of and loved as my husband Daniel did. If you will take
this price, I am willing to pay for shipping and insurance to your location.
I ONLY accept payment though a third party service, which will ensure the
funds and hold them until you have the car there, and will guarantee I get
the money after you have the car. If you are an honest buyer, I believe you
will have no objection to this. I do not know pretty much about theese
machines, but I will be happy to assist you in any way. Please get back to
me asap if you decide to buy, I can provide more photos and info if we can
close this deal.

This is quite comical. Seen this many a time on E-Bay. I'll report this scam to the appropriate personnel.
Thanks for reply.

Can I be the third party. Send the money to me.

Daytona69

I really hope that any serious Corvette shopper would be clued in on this type of scam.

Jumping OT for a sec then back to the topic at hand...Hey Cali, turns out I'll be down in SD for Plastic Fantastic after all. I'll be looking for your vert

PROSOUTH

Cali, she's gonna put a ZOOK CURSE on you!

OBTW, you are gonna get junk e-mail ten tons a day after that too!

lol, jim

This is the same response I got.

Problem is my buddy was seriously looking at this.

He's set straight now.

I wonder who's car that really is.. I'm sure the owner would be pretty upset to find his car for sale!

The ad says it is in Los Angeles... but those pictures aren't anywhere near LA.

But I would pay 13,600 for it... One red '68 isn't enough...two would be better

I hope Vettehound takes care of this problem ASAP. That can ruin thier reputation.

NOt quite following the third party thing. This goes along as countless other scams untill this part. Unless he ( check under that skirt) has some scam third party that he is going to suggest you use then there are legitmate services that will act as a middleman ( forget the name of them ) and will only release the money when the car gets there

Jay M

I was just browsing Vettehound and there are either some incredible deals or more scams.

This one caught my eye for $14,500

LemansBlue68

Yeah, but $13,800 is really cheap for a numbers matching '68 L71!!!
Maybe it's legit and we're all mising the chance!! Besides, I'm sure the local government over there would help us get our money back if it turns out to be a scam.

Buzzardz_vette

This same scam has showed up under different seller names but with the exact wording. My son was all excited and ready to buy until I had to burst his bubble.

Nate '69

Can you do the robot?

Did a google search on this person's email address and found this:

here's a fun fact, YOU MADE OUT WITH YOUR SISTER!!

Twist of Fate

This car was just on E-Bay a few weeks ago. I spotted it too, but emailed on it just in case. I usually send a scathing email back to the scammers when I get the great opportunities offered to me

Cali,68,L-79

Same exact verbage, what an A-hole.
