Interesting...this car has been posted on ebay as of 11/24/14 and is also being restored in CA. This would mean there are two of the same car!

A buyer looking at this car should do their due diligence.

looks like a scam.... bad spelling.
And as usual these scammers are only interested in receiving a deposit.

Take a look at 888315 & 889150. Both cars are being offered by scammers to which they send you copies of the cars paperwork and lots of photos, but when you dig the photos are of the cars previously advertised months ago.
Beware of buying on Ebay without actually seeing the car in the flesh.
I post this as I was nearly caught out last week on such an issue.
