Sorry it's not exactly related to 2007 Shelby GT's, but look what just got posted tonight. Boy do I wish I had an extra $21k. Maybe I should cancel all my SAI and Tasca options as they'll amount to about the same LOL.

 

I hope this is a real deal and not a hoax. If anyone does look into this for real, please do check with the SAAC before spending a dime. There are a lot of crooks out there. Last month I found a crook trying to unload a 2006 Hertz for $7k and reported the crook to craigslist.

 

This guy says it's in the World Registry. Well I have the 1997 version (the latest). So if anyone looks into this car, get the Shelby number and I'll look it up for you before you go to the SAAC.

I agree everyone. I think it's likely a hoax (or the guy is in financial runs and needs fast cash). Even if the latter were true, I think he'd ask for more. I just don't want to contact this guy in the event it happens to be real. Like I said, I will have about $21k into Shelby and Tasca options so I don't have that kind of money. If it were legit and we all got up some money to get it and sell for a profit, I'd spend the time to go look at the car. Of, if someone is interested and wanted me to look at it for you, I'd do that too. But I don't want to look and see if it is real to then wish I had the money. Even if I did, my wife would kill me. LOL

OK I bit. If this is legitimate and not sold already it will be shortly ;)

 

I emailed:

 

Hi I am interested in finding out if this is legitimate or a typical internet scam. If this is in fact a real deal and you are looking for $21,000 as stated in your ad please contact me immediately so we can go over the details of the vehicle and arrange for purchase.

 

Sincerely,

 

Terry

Awesome TY. I asked him for a phone # and Im thinking I wont get one. I went through this kind of scenario 2 years ago. I was looking to buy 2 snowmobiles and found 2 on Ebay at an unreal deal. It was because it was fake and the person went on and on in emails about it being legit but never gave me a # to call. But if it is real...that would be funny actually .

Update: As susoected "Fred" cant take phone calls. Funny his phone lines are down and being replaced but not his internet. It amzes me some people are stupid enough to fall for this stuff. I returned his email but I probably cant post alot of what was said so I am sure you can guess :) Here it is:

 

Sorry but in this moment we can't talk by phone, I have experiencing

technical issues at this time ( the telephone lines are being replaced),

hence I will not be able to speak to you directly. Nevertheless, I may

still handle all communications by email ( which will also ensure

documentation). I will try to provide the best assistance and guidance so we

can achieve a smooth and pleasant transaction. Please do not hesitate

to email any and all questions you may have and thank you for your

understanding.

Email documentation???? :lol::lol:

Oh this guy (thinks) he's good.....

Pretty soon he's going to have 14 million in cash in (insert 3rd world country) and needs you to pony up ?10,000 for "documentation fees" and of course will give you 1/2 of the money just for helping!

Hey, at least his English is good!

LOL yea these guys must have a standard BS form they use and just change wha they are selling. I would have bought that thing in a heartbeat if it was true and made a killing on it. But if its too good to be true it is :)

Okay all, here is another off-subject item for your reading pleasure. However, this if our friend Rick Kopec's old car #98 of the SAAC. I sent this to our friend Roger who is probably reading the auction site now.

 

Enjoy.

Hey, I have one of those 1/18 scale models of this car. I hope to have Kopec sign it some day.

 

Maybe you and I can take a ride to SAAC (his place in CT) some day with our cars. I guess it will be in 2009 when we get them. LOL. Just thought I'd get you a little more riled up. LOL
