That last sentence is usually true because the deal is too good to be true, but not always. In the case of this scammer his prices were inline with what they should have been. I ended up paying about the same from someone else for parts that were not a once in a lifetime chance to purchase. This con man discovered a new supply of victims in us looking to purchase parts. I would not be surprised to find him doing the same on other collector car sites whether Model T's or Corvettes. Just think what answering WTB ads on a dozen sites can amount to at just a few dollars for each one. Art
