77 v8 z car on ebay: scam?

[Sundowner]

ok, it's on ebay for a BIN of $5600, the plates say Arkansas, ebay says its in NY, and the seller says it's in London, UK. there's no vin listed, and over email he seems kinda jumpy to move the car. something seems fishy

anyone know this car or who it belongs to?

I love the lines of this one, and the white finish is really sporty.

Different versions of Chevy V8 engines. You'll need a Chevy book to keep track of them all.

I'll go out on a limb here...I've seen this car before...I can't find the link, but this car was recently sold on Ebay from its owner in Arkansas...maybe the new buyer is trying to unload it? Tried and failed to export it? Who knows...

His feedback is zero, so caveat emptor and all that.

BTW, if I understand correctly, "LT" is Corvette drivetrain while "LS" is the Camaro

[jmortensen]

LT1 is iron block "older" generation small block. The LS1 is the newer all aluminum V8. Both engines came in Camaros and Vettes. The engines are totally different internally, but share similar displacement and size. LS1 seems to make huge power compared to the LT1 with similar mods.

You called it. Here is the original auction.

Datsun 280Z V8

[2-4-T-Z-MAN]

It went for $11,100.00 and this guy is selling with a no reserve and a buy it now of 5600.00?

What's up with that?

[Sundowner]

the seller told me the car is in London, and he's selling it beucase it was his brother's car, who recently died. sounds kinda bogus

The first auction ended on the 20th of this month - how you gonna get it to London that fast?
