This looks to me like Jim Maxwell's Dino before he re-painted it.

No reserve, Humm.... what do you think?
The scammers are getting creative, complete with a phone number that you can hear transfers multiple times until you get an automated recording.

Unfortunately, some less than stellar person has taken my ad from Oct. 2006 and cloned it to accomplish what, I don't know. Surely, no one would send money for such an ad???

I am glad to see that even a derelict recognized how beautiful the Dino is, even with a smidge of rust here and there!

Everyone will be glad to know that 07580 is just about to complete its body restoration this week, I hope. The carpets are the last item going in, hopefully by the end of the week. I will be posting some completion photos when we move it outside for the first time a a couple of years.

I just bid $160,000 on it.

Scam the scammer anyone??

I'm glad you got to see the ad before they pulled it, Jim.
I suspect they like pre-1980 Euro cars because the VINs are less accessable.
It's amazing how many spammers I'm catching in just the Ferrari section. Your car is #6 in just the month or so that I've been paying attention.

Sadly the bidding is at $160,100, ad still there.
