Strike one, it appears to be a 66....color/hood.
If it turns out to be legit, whoever gets it please don't let me know!
My father recently passed and after going through his belongings and effects is his old car. The papers say it is a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette. It has been in the back garage for years an doesn't look very good. Lots of rust, flat tires and won't start.
He always said he would love to fix it, sadly he never got around to it.
I have no interest in it and the money would sure help with expenses. Not sure if I have the price right but I know these cars can be popular.
613 499-9833
Please call and I hope I can sell it soon
do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers

I'm the guy who voted "I bought it" in the poll.
Actually, I don't have it yet, but I paid a deposit equal to the buying price.
Oh, and since it was such a good deal, I went ahead and paid $10,000 for it so no one else could outbid me.
I wired the money to a prince in Nigeria, so I'm feeling pretty good about this one.

The Nigerian prince is in Louisiana now. I saw him on the news just the other night.

He's probably here making plans to deliver your car. I've heard they do deliver free for your inspection and then you pay for it.

You all just need to be more trusting, or you're going to miss a lot of potential good deals to be has out there.

I wired him the money yesterday. Sounds like a great guy, odd accent, he said he also needs some money for his brother's shipping expenses, to get the car here. Is $5,899 too much for shipping?

It seems like 75% of the adds on Craigslist are scams now. Most of them you can spot pretty quickly. I'm in the Boston area and I esp love the ones that are listed as local with Palm trees in the back ground of the pictures. Or the ones that have an e-mail address plastered across the front of the picture. I use to report them but there are just too many now. It's not worth wasting the time.

I'd have to say congratulations on your transaction! Just when we assume so many ads are scams, one like this pops us, reviving our faith in worldwide humanity. (laughter in background)
