OK,
I'll bite.
Scott made some good points as well as a few others who picked the car apart. I think it's just not the guys style to list a vin for some reason or another. I looked at a few of the guys other auctions last night and he had two negative feedbacks. One was for trying to sell a street motorcycle without a title claiming it was a "off road" bike.
If he was really trying to hide everything I think he would have kept Grandpa out of the pics.
First, I'll have to say that this particular car is legit. I'll recap.
The 99-01's did not have the door S281 carpet inserts.
He obviously added the painted door inserts as they were not standard either then, even on an S351. The #16 car matches all of the items it came shipped with. No name in the registry though.
The motor looks complete.
No console plaque I know ( and the shifter boot looked pretty clean) however NOT every car leaves with it. Mistakes happen. My 02 was shipped without it for some squirly reason.
No one, I mean no one will go to the trouble of installing the fuel tank fans to make a clone S351 for 99. Those are the black pipes you saw in the trunk. If anyone wants more info on those just ask.
Overall I agree the auction looked a little fishy and the car did look like it had more than 8,000 miles on it but some people are just losers when it comes to keeping a car like that clean. Another red flag maybe?
