This C2 has got be a scam!

yeah, I'd say so . . .

 

Theres a link on that website that you can click on to "Report Item" however, you need to set up an account to proceed...not something I want to do. Otherwise I would report it!

 

8 Cylinder with 350 miles that runs on gasoline

I'll take all the 67 big block convertibles I can find for $16,000.

I would have to think it is indeed fraudulent

 

Odd that the phone # is from within the US. Someone from that area of PA should give them a call just for the fun of it.

If it's someone local trying to work a scam with friends from a 3rd world country, give the info to the police and let them take over. At least get one of the dirt bags.

 

But the body style is listed as a coupe, which is why it's so cheap. Everyone knows that 63-67 coupes don't pull the same kind of money as the 63-67 convertibles.

I find the seller's phone number and location interesting too. The area code is 724, which is western PA (Pittsburgh area), but the town is listed as Amblar, PA. I don't know of any Amblar PA's, but there is an Ambler, PA. It's a Philadelphia suburb!

 

It goes to a Google voice service which asks for your name. Then it rings for a while and goes to a generic voice mail box.

Most likely being relayed outside the US.

 

Javaman and any other interested party:
I live 10 minutes away from Ambler.
Looking at the driveway alone, I'd say this car is located at
the 1/2 million + dollar development in Ambler.
The way it's written up sounds like a 12 y/o description.
2 possibilities both to prespective buyer.
1. Divorce, she got the car and sells it cheap for spite.
2. Junkey teenager selling fathers prized car while on a cruise?
I'd say #1 more likely a reality but have seen both examples
in my life. Gotta love coming home and found kid sold all your possessions for dope?
If for some reason anyone finds any credibility to the ad, I will look at the car. I'm not a c-2 expert by any stretch of thee imagination but I can verify #'s and certainly can detect rust.
What may have happened is it should have read:
'67 vette, NOM 350 engine, badged as a BB.
Then in this economy 16-25 is believeable.
Car looks too nice in pics to believe.
It currently may be all apart today reflecting asking price.
Oh that would make a 3rd possibilty.
As a public service for all the invaluable help I've had on this forum I called the phone# as suggested. It is a Google subscriber # with no name greeting.
I left a message to call me re: car. It is not an Ambler phone #. Area code here is 215 and Amber would be a 646.... for a residential contact.
Sounds like some ******** hijacked pics from a legit add and doctored it up for
potential internet scam. We'll see if I get a call back?? Doubt it!

Remember, if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Auto Trader Classics seems to have a lot of scams on it like that lately. When I was looking for my Corvette 3 years ago they had an ad for a nice looking 69 vert for $9800. The reply to the ad I received said to the car was "sealed for shipping" and to send money to a YaHoo finance escrow account (I later found out that Yahoo doesn't offer this service) and the car would be shipped and I would have 5 days to look it over. If unsatisfactory it could be shipped back. Yeah right. Once you sent the money, it would disappear.

 

maybe a typo in the price i seen that before!

 

I guess I'm not getting that phone call back I've been waiting for with baited breath
So, 724 is a Pittsburgh area code, huh?
Looks like another chain jerking extravaganza by some unemployed ******. Wood chipper anyone

Not much in the listing, but nowhere does it say anything on this car is original.

$16K for a driver 67 is not too bad provided it's actually a 67.

 

Hey Mike,
cars in PA but please send certified funds to Kenya at this po box
Unless it's one scorned women, it is way to nice a ride for that price.
I'd buy it with a salvage title for that $, BB '67... even a fake would cost more to replicate than 16k
