What an informative display of how to deconstruct a pretty clever fraud. I reported to Ebay, hope others have as well. It's kind of frustrating how dumbed-down their reporting system is-I wasn't able to leave any info about WHY I thought it was fraudulent. Another thing to check when things seem fishy is the feedback. There's no car stuff in the seller's feedback profile, and all but one of the feedbacks is as a buyer. Looks like somebody took over an old account with good feedback.

Wow. Good work, guys. I recall the same sort of scam being pulled using a blue ‘70 Z a few months back.

I see it has been reposted... don’t know if that’s new, but I reported it as a fraudulent item.

Unfortunately it appears that it has sold for $31K, obviously eBay did absolutely nothing to prevent this fraud, I know that the auction was reported to them, sad.
