This looks kinda suspicious. A pristine GT 500 for dirt cheap, no Vid code, and.... well you can just see for yourselves.

if it was almost over, we would still be able to access it after it closed.

Ebay has had a rash of Invalid auctions of late.
They have been easy to spot too, Most of them are for cars that anyone would want and are a a real cheap Buy It Now price.
Most are posted with an Email me for details and when you request info
all you get is a long letter on how to send them the money and no info on the car.

I checked on one that had a 70 Boss 429 for 9800.00
Only if it was true.

That's what this one was like. It had an E-mail me for info thing on the bottom, and a buy it now price of $8200 or so. The car pictured was a pristine GT500.

One word: scam. The old adage should be amended: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is, especially on eBay.
