That car looks a little fishy.
As for the site, the owner of CorvetteForum owns that site as well.

Reminds me of the "lady" from Italy that was selling her dead husbands ZL1 Camaro for $6900. I told her to give me directions from the airport and I would be on my way. I got what I expected....No answer... Duh!!
Go look at the car.
Hell, 92391 is on my way to Big Bear, I'm headed up that way next friday...get a hold of the owner and I will go meet them.

OK, I'm lying. I did send the seller a message asking where one of my California friends could inspect it. We'll see If I get a reply, bet not.

I wonder how many fish these guys catch? They play on greed. When was the last time you saw a BB Vette restored for under 10 grand? 1980? Barrett Jackson was just on and most people check it out even if for a second, so most people know values now. I bet the reply is the car is in Italy and he can ship it for free and all you need is 2 grand to start process and your personel info. These scams have been going on for years and if you get burnt on them it NOW your on fault. If its to good to be true it is. I flag them on EBAY and send a link from the Distrct Attorneys web page and tell them they have been reported. STAY AWAY

That same car was around almost a year ago on another site. I emailed them and they said it was not in the US etc etc and that they wanted this money there and would use XX service to transport the car blah blah blah. I reached up and hit delete. If its too good to be true it usually is.
this will be good to watch...

Those that are obviously too good to be true are just that.
However ... I saw a 69 SB coupe sell last year for 10k
in Brookline NH ... not too too far from Mendon. It looked decent
from the outside - but a good rust inspection is required before
laying down the cash.

No answer....go figure 
The zip code is up by Big Bear.
Should we all send them hate mail now or has someone already reported the link to the site owner?
