I reported this to eBay in the upper right hand corner.

i already reported that listing as fraudulent, its real easy to do if you have an ebay account. the guy is even telling you its ok to use it to get a title for a car that does not exist any more
 
I love the, "MAY be obtained through lost title search or something.." I guess they aren't sure. LOL
 
Ebay didn't remove it. Is there a database of fraudulent VIN numbers that this can be reported to? It would suck if someone bought a bogus car, and paid big bucks for it.
 
I didn't bother reporting it because I was confident it wasn't going to get any bids. 2000-2006 or so that would have been snapped up in a heartbeat, but who's wanting to drop major bucks making a fake 440 69 Coronet RT these days? This is now a car that's cheaper to buy than to fake.
 
I rarely ever buy anything off E-Scam anyway

I would hope most people are smart enough

there's many that don't know all the ins & outs

BUT,
they would still need the rad support #/stamping & the rear trunk surround #/stamping
as long as someone knowledgeable or savvy enough to check those area,
make sure it's not a re-body/clone
{still even those #'s/Stampings can be sectioned/welded in too, ground the weld down etc.}
 
I don't know that it's a matter of smart enough, more of wanting to make money. There are lots of folks who will fake a Picasso because there's money to be made. Not many want to fake my drawings of deer that I made when I was a kid. They did look fabulous for a nine year old, but the market hasn't caught on to my mad crayon skills like we hoped they would. :) There's no more money to be made on restoring vanilla Muscle cars anymore, so more and more people trying to run these scams are going to end up like my Mom, except they'll be sitting on dusty VIN tags instead of dusty pieces of paper with crayon drawings on them. :)
