:hmm: you know what, now that you mention it, it very well could be. It doesn't list a phone number either and usually a phone number, email or something is mentioned about how to get a hold of the seller is mentioned. Now I'm curious.

Old77- If he asks you to pay his assistant because he is currently in London on business dont give him your personal information haha.

It looks like these foreign scammers are getting better with our language.

haha!!! Thanks for the tip man ;)

Normally I've seen these scams with newer vehicles at ridiculously low prices, too. I've never seen one with an older vehicle and something that simply appeared to be a good buy. If this is a scam they're getting better at their scamming techniques

Son of a bitch, of coarse I don't have extra funds when this pops up.

A 383 for 700 bucks?!?! This guy seems confused.

I don't think you'd want those wheels for your truck anyway. Those look to be cast wheels to me. You out doing some wheeling, hit a rock or some other hard surface, a cast wheel will shatter and then your a sitting duck. But, if you have a spare with you, no bid deal but you have to replace the wheel. You should have to worry about rust on a wheel like that though, and it should be lighter.

Is that guy for real, a motor, trans and heads for $700, but he wants $500 for a set of headers.

That style of wheel looks good on everything! I had a Nissan with a set of those, it looked sweet! My truck's wheeling days are over, I hate doing body work and get to drunk and crazy and usually end up destroying whatever I am driving.

The second post looks like some ******* that inherited a motor project someone was building. I would **** a chicken if that is a freshly machined complete unit, could probably pass on the 500 dollar headers haha.

If thats a proper rebuild with the throttle shaft bushed, that's a steal for that carb.

My 3/4 4x4 wish is over. The minute the guy told me he wanted $750 for a non running complere truck, I told him he could lick my sack !!! That's not my kinda deal at all. I have bought running truck for less than a third of that.
