Yes. Some guy claims to be selling the actual 2005 Mustang GT-R concept car!

EDIT: Link is no longer any good.

OK, there's no way this guy even has the GT-R, let alone be willing to sell it, but I don't get the catch. I figured somewhere in the fine print it would be a poster or a scale model. Can any one figure it out? (I have no idea why he has 1976 Ford listed as the title)

It's only a one day auction, starting bid is $100, the seller is in England, and the only things he's sold prior to this are clothes.

I like these details, 5 cyl engine, 4 wheel drive, cassette player, sun roof, made in 1976 and 21K miles. Quite a VIN # too. Sure sounds legitimate to me.

i contacted ebay to see if they had any info and they said they would investigate the auction further because of the discrepencies in it.

Wow. What did you say to them. It's already been taken off eBay! That was fast!

i just asked if they had any further information on the vehicle up for auction because it is listed as a 1976 mustang but had pics for a 2005 mustang gt-r and the specs given were weird. they said they would investigate it.

it may just be a 76' with a skyline gtr badge on it and it's painted similar to the 05!

You should have wrote the seller too and asked him for more details.

It's just a typical e-bay scam I'm sure. They are all over the place on there.
If the price sounds too good to be true it is.
