Just an FYI. These vintage car sales "sites" are just personal info data gathering portals. Black holes. Rat traps. Outdated ads and scams. Steer clear is my advice! What jerky, dishonorable dipsquats. Basically, if a website doesn't give you a phone number of the seller or a dealer name, its scamming you.

They are awful, dumb, and ignorant. Not a good trifecta in my manual. Malfeasant middlemen. https://www.classiccardeals.com WeBeautos Cadillac Cream Puffs. (Yeah, right. "Caddy Bob" wanted to charge me 15% extra on a "rare" Caddy that he found on Hemmings. As if I hadn't first.) I cant speak for anyone else, but I wish people would pass on posting Craigslist ads, the links are always GONE. Just my five cents. So how can you tell if an online car sale is fake? You find bad reviews online. Check out the seller by searching online for the person’s name, phone number and email address, plus words like “review,” “complaint” or “scam.” Sellers try to rush the sale. Resist the pressure. Scammers use high-pressure sales tactics to get you to buy without thinking things through. They can’t or won’t meet in person or let you inspect the car. Scammers might have an excuse, like a job transfer, military deployment, or divorce, for why you can’t see them or the car. But experts agree that you should have an independent mechanic inspect a used car before you buy it. They want you to pay with gift cards or by wire transfer. If anyone tells you to pay that way, it’s a scam. Every time. The sellers demand more money after the sale for “shipping” or “transportation” costs. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) doesn’t match the VIN for the car you’re interested in. A vehicle history report can help you spot such discrepancies. JWW
My Nortons is up to date and while many of these websites are perhaps an evil avenue I find many are great for archives of pics and info for Hotrod/Customs that I share here periodically...I totally agree that many are old news but are they all really luring and entrapping unsuspecting customers and lining someones bank account...I note many say this vehicle is not available or sold... I certainly agree we all have to be vigilant Anywhere we purchase vehicles even the Hambs own classified...
Look at the Hamb everyday...I flag out Spammers that sign up just to post shit and troll away...I'm very happy their membership is short lived...
