Nice '69 Trans Am, Restored in '95

[southernfriedcj]

I'm wondering if this Ebay car is a scam. No reserve and no info. I've never seen the car around here.

My message to the seller from yesterday:

Hello,

I'm in Watkinsville (I was just in Social Circle on Friday), are you available to show the car?

Does the car have the original/born with/numbers/matching engine, transmission, rear end, carb, ect?

Thanks

I'm confused. Ebay guy bought your friend's car and is selling it?

Sorry, I should not have done that. When it was posted that it is impossible to find one for under 100K. I was just making the statement that my friend's car was starting at 90K but no one even asked about it or the price. Or for a list of any of the other cars. The car I posted is NOT the ebay car. D

The Ebay guy ended the listing early.

He must have had someone else working out a deal. I wish he would have contacted me. He's about 30 minutes away. All back country roads.

Most junk is on the west side of Atlanta, and it can stay there. The traffic is ridiculous, 24/7.

So we’re sure this eBay car was not a scam?

The seller responded to me late yesterday with the actual VIN and PHS docs

"Anyway, very cool car to say the least. Yes I want to buy it. And was promised Right-Of-First-Refusal. But life has a way of getting in the way. Many people RIGHT behind me also want it."



No mention of it being for sale or a price. Only thing was that you wanted it.. No wonder no one inquired. Must have been another post buried in another thread.

No mention of it being for sale or a price.

Stating that it was starting at 90K surely means it's "For Sale".... Why else would I make that statement? AND it has the price built right in with THAT statement. All in one sentence. I was just wondering why someone didn't say, WOW, is that really the price, 90K...
I am still trying to buy it. But things are on hold right now on ALL his cars. I asked him why, and he said he didn't want to talk about it. So I left it at that. That was 10 days ago. D

Lol ok. Even though your previous thread made no mention of it being for sale until today in this thread. Hope you buy it..

The dude never responded to me. I even let him know we are neighbors.

I've been trying to buy a '69 T/A for 20 years and something always gets sideways. Same with a Superbird.

The Superbirds have gotten way passed what I consider their worth and the T/As are following suit.
