" the only rust is at the (non existent) toe hook " ????????

The add looks like a scam....there have been a few kombi and 356 scams on eBay very recently that look the same!

[Fishcop]

Almost definitely a scam. Emails to seller have been sent...

Hi,
I am working this week but we can meet in weekend if you want.
Considering that demand for car is high i must be sure that you will come to check/collect the car in weekend before i stop the auction on eBay. Of course
you'll need view/inspect before I get paid, I understand you, this way we will deal under eBay protection.

The car is in Australia,
Here is the description of the car:
This car has been sitting for 12 yrs. The engine is stuck and a 1973 . It has Factory sport seats, Bilstein struts and shocks, No A/C, The chassis is very
clean and the only rust is at the front tow hook that got ripped out at some time. Battery box's are perfect as also are the rockers. The fenders and doors
have never been off. The car has never been hit. Wheels are Fuchs and have all 5.
It has the original Mechanical Injection. The heater box's are in excellent shape.
The body paint is 40yrs old and shows signs of spot work,No rust through on the body any where only surface rust. It is strait minor dents in a few places.
This is a great car to restore or turn into a everyday driver with some work.
This car spent most of time in Kentucky and serviced there in it's early days. So It will need a full mechanical restoration and the fuel system gone through
as well as the brake system. Here is the link with picture: http://flickcabin.com/public/viewset/43801
Send me your e-mail with more informations
Thanks Tingwei

Hi Kevia

All sounds good, and I must commend you on your professionalism and fairness to honour your contract with eBay.
The car being in WA is great - I'll be there next week so I can actually pick it up in person and save you the shipping cost.

As a bonus you can keep the extra money for shipping, my luck has really changed of late.
I can't say too much (it's kind of a secret deal) but a Minister from the Nigerian Government has trusted me to help him transfer a stack of cash from a foreign bank.
I'll be swimming in cash by next week and plan buy a fleet of cars. I don't suppose you have any more to sell......?

So let me know your bank details and I'll transfer some of that sweet Nigerian cash as soon as it arrives.

Cheers Terry

PS I know the Nigerian deal sounds almost too good to be true but don't worry I have a back up plan - seems my good luck never ends, I just won the Mircosoft Lottery, and I can't even remember buying a ticket....!
