For real !
Is this ad for real ? I just clicked on the Corvettes for sale at the bottom of this page and saw a 1969 BB Convertible 4-Speed for $8000 in PA that had a frame off in 2000 !

Here's the e-mail reply from the guy with the '69 for sale.
Hi,
The car is in MI. The car is available and it's in excellent condition, clear title.
The price is is $8,000 . To buy it you have to make proof of funds and i will come with the car at your address.
For making proof that you have the money i propouse you to make a Money Gram transfer for the $4,000 to a relative or a friend of yours that you can trust in and send me the Money Gram receipt, i wil verify with MG if the funds is really there and if it is i will come with the car at your address, see the car , if you decide to take it we will go to MG together, take your money back from them, we make the papers, pay me and the deal is closed. What do you say?
If you will not be happy with the car i will come back with no obligation for you and give you fees that you would have to pay for making the transfer.
Thanx
Robert
P.S. You can find a MG location close to you here:http://www.moneygram.com/eFindUs/fin...anguageCode=en

Hummmmmm....... first off, his response is in broken english which isn't a great sign but not necessarily a definite red flag.
I don't know the specifics of money gram but as long as he doesn't have access to the funds being transfered it doens't seem like such a bad idea.
Driving the car to where ever you are is a bit sketchy to me.
Lastely the add looks like the guy knows a lot about the car and its value, 8k must be missing a zero.
SCAM ALERT!
