His scam is probably buy it now for $11,500 and shipping and handling is only $25K.
Funny thing is his ebay feedback actually looks pretty good on previous transactions.
Don't know what it means but under the type of vehicle it says Kabrio/Roadster....

There is nothing wrong with the car, and he will probably ship for free. The only problem is that he will request a few thousand dollar deposit to be wired to him, and that is the last you will ever hear from him or your money.
This person(s) is hoping someone's greed will overcome thir good sense.

He has 3 or 4 cars on ebay every day. He is somehow hacking into good peoples ebay accounts. There is usually a note that asks you to email him at an MSN address because he has problems getting his mail through Ebay. It would help if it was his account probably. He had a 67 sb picture that he listed as an original bb yesterday for $9000. There was also a C1 that was perfect and came with the original bill of sale with a starting bid of 10 cents and a buy it now price of 20 cents. I emailed him to see if he would take 18 cents for it.

Scam
So I played Dumb with this guy and it is a HUGE SCAM. Here is this guys reply to my e-mail.
Hello Sir,
I am glad you are interested in my vehicle.
I want to let you know all the details about this deal so everything will work fine.
Some words about the car:
First of all the car is fully restored and looks just like in the pictures.It is in imaculate condition and has no scratch on and hasn't been involved in any accident.The motor runs very well. This is a classic car that has a lot of the original parts and the tires are almost new.The title is clear ,it is not a salvage one. The car belongs to my grandfather.He is very old and can't take care of it anymore.He put me to sell the car.I have legal documents by wich I can transfer the title to your name.
The car is now in Italy as my grandfather lives here.He loves this kind of cars and he collected and restored them.The car is mostly garage kept and rarely used.
Because I can't carry all his things back home I am selling them. I am willing to sell it and ship it to any of the EU countries or to US.I will not ship to any African,Asian or Eastern European countries.I know that the price is low but I have no use for the car and I want to get back home as soon as I sell it.I want to sell the car asap so I am willing to pay 65% of the shipping fees nomatter of the location.The company of my wife works with '' European-Shipping'' and they offered us a disscount for the shipping, so I will support 65% of it and this is the main reason I want to use this company as a shipping service.You will not have to pay any additional taxes.Once again,you will not have to pay all the shipping costs, only 35% of it.
Delivery Estimated Time: 17-21 days
Price: $11,500 - $3000 prior to shipping - the balance after you receive and inspect the car.
Inspection Period:3 days
Shipping Service:'' European-Shipping'' (door to door)
Terms: I offer a complete customer satisfaction guarantee or your money back. This policy means, that if the vehicle is not as described then you may return it for a 100% refund. If the items are returned, they must be returned in the exact condition as shipped and it will return on my costs.
If the car is what you are looking for and if you agree with these conditions then I will be glad to close this deal with you. In order to end this deal I want you to deposit $3000 to a Western Union agent,if you need more details about this please contact me.I prefer money order because in this way I will ship the car in the same day you make the payment.
I will be waiting your email.
