Default E Bay Scam?

Check out item # 4619865877. Seller states car is a 1973 model that has won numerous awards and been in car magazines. Car is NOT a 1973 corvette--car in photo has a front chrome bumper. Plus look at that engine compartment--car mags and awards?--hmmm.

Stay away all you like, keeps the prices down for the rest of us. eBay is fine, jacka$$ sellers and scammers are the problem. It's not hard to avoid them.

the 53 he stated was a v8, there was none in that year.... Why do scammers try and rip people off when they cant even put the right info down, sayin its a year and putting a picture of another year?? People are bad at it, its easy to spot scams with people like that

I sent an email to the seller "Rushlord" politely pointing out to him the corvette in the listing was not a 1973. He replied back with a very abusive profane message telling me to leave his listing alone--and that all 1973's did have chrome front bumpers! I then sent a message to e bay alerting them of the scam and told them to read his email to me.
