Seems to be an awful lot of "too good to be true" prices on that website! :eek:

How about a nice '73 Super Duty for $16,400?!?!

They have tons of vehicles listed tons of almost anything you want and the prices are insanely cheap. $23,000 for a 1970 Superbird? WTH? Tons of TA’s just for giggles I inquired about one, to see what I get back.

I can’t seem to find a location or any info on this place?

I saw that something don’t seem right, I wonder if they just stole pics of cars, off the internet and put them on this site?

Hi, yes this is Claire selling the Firebird. As can be seen the car is in really good condition, has no issues or accidents, no rust or leaks, straight body, no work needed ready to enjoy. It was my husband's baby "Life's too short to drive a boring car" he always said but he passed away earlier this year he served his country well and I'm sure he's in a good place now. Being in a difficult situation now I'm forced to sell it. I also had thyroid surgery and moved back to my late folks house in Tennessee to recover. Considering the difficult circumstances I made arrangements with a local shipper to help me with the sale as I'm unable to the car is prepped & ready for delivery which is covered in the $13,400. If interested in buying and need more details provide your name and a shipping address I'll forward it to them and they'll provide you the terms and legal contract to show authenticity & delivery are guaranteed. I have several folks interested so I'll be waiting for your reply soon. Thank you

Free delivery? That's even better!! Maybe I should get TWO of them??
Sad part is they must generate some revenue from this scam, or they
would have already moved on to another.

2 posters on the reportscam website claimed to fall for the scam.
Around $15k each

It's discouraging the website isn't shut down at a minimum.
The 74 Formula isn't as long of a stretch as the 73 SD TA
That's a 1990 price for a 73 SD

I wonder if someone countered with a 10k offer on the SD, if they would accept that offer.
And if they accepted 10k, counter again with a 5k offer.
The dialogue would be interesting

Hi, I am also a widow of a veteran and currently recovering from a brain transplant.
Don't know what i was thinking with the 10k offer, the meds are strong.
5k seems like plenty due to the car being almost 50 years old.
I hope you can be fair minded about this offer and consider my condition.
My new brain is telling me this is an appropriate amount.
I have other folks offering me cars ridiculously cheap online too, so please be prompt.

Look at the ad for the 73 super duty, vin # is 242.

Firedup6975 12-21-2020 02:16 PM

I never got a response from anyone from this site in regards to a car I inquired about.

The only way to authenticate a Firebird-Judge is the police speedometer. :cool:

Well, according to the directions its kept at monument circle in down town Indianapolis. I don't think they would lie about that. :knock:

Firedup6975 12-29-2020 10:23 PM

I inquired about a couple of cars and no replies.

So far, I have seen links to Indiana for this place.
