...sounds legit, but a "zero" got left off. $82,000 is more likely...

Maybe you have to join a local cult to get that price.

This would be a reasonable price if the car had to be delivered in two or more pieces.

Probably just an error, not a scam.

If it was legit it would have sold by now. The ad was placed in May. If it was a digit left off, why hasn't it been corrected by now. Maybe someone should e-mail him for pictures and ask a few questions.

The descriptions sounds pretty good, but this just doesn't look right
"transistorized ignition"

Scam...I've seen the same email address associated with a different name... I think....besides the phone # is a NJ phone number, not Wyoming.

Cheers,
