He has a video on you tube as well!!
I like the way he takes a pencil and covers up the 350 engine on his build sheet in the video!!!

The ebay add is not covered up. Says 350.

I see he took the rally II wheel emblem off the steering wheel...

Is it just my computer, when I look at the text of his Epay ad, it all jumbles together. There are lines of text on top of lines of text.

Very painful to read, not to mention his painful ramblings...

He's back again! Now wants $500k, and shows some actual pictures this time, if you look at details, you can see how the vary from his 1st scam attempt, and from the actual car at the pontiac engineering building, - And the car no longer is in the UK...

Did you see there was a bid for $50K.
Posted By: Jimc2002 Re: Here is the "Test Car" again on Ebay - 08/02/14 04:56 AM
I'm so confused attempting to read the text and trying to match up those pictures that I can't follow what this is an ad for.
Posted By: 68strokr Re: Here is the "Test Car" again on Ebay - 08/02/14 05:34 AM
Don't worry guys he has pictures. (sarcasm) What else do you need? Bid with confidence. cheers
Posted By: hokie1984 Re: Here is the "Test Car" again on Ebay - 08/02/14 06:43 AM
I'll bet you that if you bid $50001.00, it's all yours.

Yeah, another comical thing about his pictures is, he finally added a pic of the engine...only problem is the cowl piece visible in the pic is white, isn't the car orange? Wonder why ebay did away with the "report as scam" option. I remember 5 or 6 years ago a guy try to sell a real 69 t/a for 8500 bucks with a buy now! He was reported in minutes and the car was off ebay...
Posted By: Banshee Re: Here is the "Test Car" again on Ebay - 08/02/14 07:29 AM
That IS an actual documented...WELL documented test car. Test Car
Test Car
Test Car

BTW, that was sarcasm...

Ebay ad stinks to high hell.

Darn it, the listing was taken down before I could bid!

Is this the same guy that posted a bunch of creepy videos over at PY under even more aliases ?

I think his name is Jeremy. I actually lived fairly close to him for a few years. On PY he was shot down several times and actually made up different names on there so he could back "himself" up.

KInd of tenacious, I want to say he's been at this for years.
Posted By: salmon38 Re: Here is the "Test Car" again on Ebay - 08/08/14 04:44 AM
Somebody posted the link to his Facebook page over at PY.

He paid the money...

Not sure if you guys read the Mecum ad lately, but it appears all of the references to it being a test car, or an engineering prototype, are now gone. Maybe the Mecum legal team made a few phone calls and realized this guy was a con man. He still says it's a Ram Air 455 H.O. though, when in fact it's a 1968 400.

He also removed the pic of his invoice from his E-Bay ad, and now he says that PHS does not exist for this car. Maybe too many people were laughing at him when they saw his invoice says it's a standard brown 350 2-bbl car. crazy
Posted By: salmon38 Re: Here is the "Test Car" again on Ebay - 08/16/14 04:25 PM
The latest (as reported over at PY) was that the car was a no-show at the Mecum action.
Posted By: AdamsBird Re: Here is the "Test Car" again on Ebay - 08/16/14 11:18 PM
I think a few people notified Mecum that this guy is a con man, and his claims are totally baseless.
