Isn't there a way to post questions to the buyer and the public can see them? Or can that be disabled?
Maybe report it? I'm sure they have at least a couple people who are supposed to protect their reputation.

I'm hoping that the bidders are as sharp as FTE members. As with anything on eBay, it doesn't matter what the seller says (New, Mint, Vintage, Antique, and the oh-so-popular RARE!!) - only what your eyes tell you.
Personally, I wouldn't buy it because to me, it's not driveable. It's a car show cruiser with no practical use. I sure wouldn't put anything in that bed, and would be terrified of getting it dirty.
But there are plenty of guys with big garages who would love a restored truck they can wipe down every day with a mink duster.
As my dad is fond of saying, "Anything is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it, and not a penny more."
Besides, at the rate I'm going, I'll clear the $10K mark with Festus before I'm done.

The other half of the formula, and the most important part for me, is pride in ownership - doing the work myself, at least as much as I possibly can. It's not like buying a new truck. It seems to me that we all do this simply because we enjoy it.
"Say, Buford, how'd you get that 9.2 flux capacitor all cross multi-integrated like that? Looks real nice."
"Uuuuh,.... can't really say, the guy I bought it from did all the work."

If this managed to land in my driveway itd be lookin like any other truck on the road in a few months. I couldnt have a truck that nice hangin around and a truck that old without 20k in mods isnt worth more then 7 imo.

What kills me is, these are not collectors cars. Even fully restored they're value is fairly low. Maybe someday that will change but it hasn't yet. Spend $10k on it and if you total it you'll get what, $5k? Guess you couldd always try and get collectors insurance but don't know if it would qualify for it.

So you could insure it, but I have to agree, I would have reservations regarding that truck and would want to inspect it thoroughly before I dropped any coin on it.

Really like to know just who this clown is so I can stay as far away from him as possible.
