Put your time and energy into something else unless you are snowed in and have absolutely nothing else to do.
Bummer. Can't trust anyone anymore.Well this ended up being a pretty creative scam on FB. Something felt off, did some googling and a address came up with a different phone number. Called it and the guy said "yeah we get a few calls. Its a scam." The phone number being associated with Amarillo but the ad was in the North East US somewhere was what tipped me off.
The days of buying used parts online are dead.
Part of me wants to mess with the scammer and see how far I can drag it. What should I do?
It's not close, and $200 more than the fake TKX, but it's a T56 Magnum you could upgrade to?Well this ended up being a pretty creative scam on FB.

I’m just going to rebuild the 3550 when funds allow which should be soon ish.
I would like to make a side table for just that.Can you get one with accessories like a cigar and burbon glass holder? All kidding aside that is really nice!
Agreed!Two of those with a nice table between would be legit.
Damn man that is beautiful!Here's what I spent about 20 hours on this weekend, about 40 hours total. I'm sincerely hoping that the guy who commissioned it doesn't have an absolute heart attack at the labor bill but it should cover any and all parts needed to finish the car and probably the bronco too, while we're at it. Also, I have a bar to build next that might be a transmission yet. While all this is great news, it prevents me from working on the car so its a double edged sword.
Was your other buddy able to pick it up for you?I picked up a lightly used TKO 600 today for what I feel like is a good deal at $1600. Probably order parts to finish the car Friday when I get paid. Back to work on this soon!
Yep, he lives like 5 miles from the guy and was able to go snag it right then. Worked out perfect!Was your other buddy able to pick it up for you?
Love that for you, let me know if you want to grab a beer while you're up here next time.Yep, he lives like 5 miles from the guy and was able to go snag it right then. Worked out perfect!
