This just doesn't sound right. A relative of mine is looking for a Chevelle and came across this. Apparently, he emailed the person about it before I could stop him. Anyone know this car down in Houston? Looks like a scamming dealer...notice no plates or inspection sticker.....hmmmm.

And another possibly?

I've been going back and forth with this guy, he's in Holland (where the car is...not in FL like he claimed). He said he brought it over there and it cannot be driven on the street since it was "equipped for US market". You'd think someone would do the research about that sort of thing wouldn't you. He got all testy when I asked him simple questions about the car and if he could send me some detailed photos of it.
This HAS to be a scam!

International usually equals scam. Tell him to kindly go DIAF.

I call scam! The "set up for US market" so it doesn't work here is BS. A standard giveaway. If he modified it so much to be a COPO clone etc then it could have easily been made to conform to 'whatever' requirements.
