Firehawk #24 On Ebay

Ebay Auction

Pretty cheap (considering).. Description is wrong (305/Auto), but the pics check out from www.transamgta.com

hmmm, from me also....

Why can't the owner even take current pictures for the ad? The pics posted on ebay are the same ones as used in the transamgta site. Something seems to be amiss here.

Notice the 8th digit of the vin...its an E. That means the car was originally equipped with an L03 (305 TBI). I smell

No telling on this one.. It was a late build and was in green. Maybe that's all they could find new to build off of? Think SLP would still have the Firehawk vins?

He can have them yank the auction. I personally think we should all get together and ask him how he's selling someone elses car.. 3000+ emails should about do it..

BJ knows about the auction and she was currently talking to e-bay about the auction. So at least the people that matter know about the bogus auction. (Hawk, and e-bay)

ok, if you click on view sellers other aucitons he has 2 more cars for sale!!!!!!!!! A fourthgen firebird and a caddy.... 2 things really get me...

1. The Firehawk has to be sold because he is moving, where as the caddy has to be sold because he just moved into a new place and cant afford it anymore.

2. The webpage of the person whose account has posted these auctions is------>Here He doesnt really look like a scam artist but maybe he is, or maybe someone has phished his account. Really funny thing is this guy looks to be in the 20-25 years old range, and the caddy is a "one owner car" that is 32 years old.(must have been a first birthday present or something, because it does say hes had it his whole life)

Bet his next auction will be an original KITT car. He's getting the parts now.

Note the Ebay ad doesn't show a production number for the car now. Gotcha?

Funny thing is those are pictures of Bruce's car... He riped them off... Apparently BJ either talked to or e-mailed the guy and come to find out he is actually selling it for a friend...

The seller has a 97.4% approval rating.....

Pathetic. To think of the work some of these losers put into scams... Why can't they figure out if they focused that energy into something legit they might actually get rich?
