I think post #15 pretty well proves that this ebay listing was a scam.

Lots of "fine point" detailing on that car. Looks like it was a Marc of Excellence winner at one of the past National Meets.
Always have to be careful buying on E-Bay.

I don't think there was ever much doubt about it. For laughs I sent a message to the seller last night thru eBay asking for a few more details, location, etc.. This morning I got the following reply (not sent thru eBay) to my email address:

Hello ,
This car is a pristine , Fully restored to the highest standards, super nice! Always garaged, Excellent condition ,Looks & drives great . Very clean interior and exterior, very Well maintained. The Car comes with 2 keys,and a clean/clear Washington state title ready for transfer to new owner .

Thank you

I also replied to him on ebay and got an email from him with the exact same message! He added that he can ship the car to Flagstaff, AZ (where I used to live).
So he not only knows our email address but also our physical address.

There is no anonymity or privacy any more - not since the internet and social media took off. You'd be surprised what info is out there about you.
