The Ford Barn

i didnt know where to post this but here we go...

I have an ad in the wanted section about a 32-34 11-39 / 3:54 rear end ratio.
Yesterday i got a response that almost fooled me to pay $650.00 for well.. Probably nothing. After a few emails back and forth things got weirder and weirder and i had to do some background check.

I googled "11-39 3:54 32-34 gears" and the SAME text was in Randy Pimplers old eBay auction back in 2013, exactly the same numbers was etched in on the ring gear too. The dude refused to send any photos of the pieces until i said the deal were off until i got some pics.
Another weird thing was that i asked for his Fordbarn nickname and his profile was made the same day (jjjohnson768) zero posts etc.

Here you have the entire conversation (read from bortom and up)
