I found this ad on Craigslist and am suspicious. About a month ago this same person had an "immaculate" 1930 coupe for sale on Craigslist for, as I remember, about $10,000. That ad had many pictures of a very nice BLACK 1930 coupe and read almost word for word the same as this ad. I checked with E-Bay and they have no record of this person or the e-mail address. The car was never listed on E-bay. So giving the benefit of the doubt to this person I have to ask how do you use E-bay Motors without listing the item? I thought about reporting the ad to Craigslist but do not want to cause this person undue trouble if the ad is legitimate. So what is you opinion other than if it is on the up and up it is one heck of a deal!!

Hey,

I'm selling it at this price of $6,000 because my husband died 2 months ago (he had a heart attack) and it brings me bad memories and that's the reason I want to sell it a.s.a.p. No damage or hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained... I have a clear title, without liens or loans on it, under my name. Me and my son decided to sell the house and we moved to my parents house in Twin Falls, ID trying to start a new life. We need to meet up to my parents place or I can arrange delivery - it will cost the gas money.

I want to use eBay Motors services (5 days of testing prior purchase) for the safety of both of us so if you’re interested in purchasing, please provide me your full name for the bill of sale, your full address and a phone number so I can notify eBay that you're selected as my possible buyer and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.

I look forward to hear from you!

Thanks!

P.S. I have attached the pics to the email, the specs are below:

This Coupe is all steel with recent yellow paint and black trim. Like new tires on yellow wire wheels. This Ford starts and drives like any conventional car with 3 speed floor shift. Bright work is not show but very presentable. Interior is correct Lebonny rib-cord with black leatherette in rumble seat. Engine recently serviced and totally detailed with alternator upgrade. Runs and drives as new - very dependable.
