Title: Greyhound for sale on eBay - running project
Post by: R Warlop on April 13, 2019, 07:46:51
In 2017, this Greyhound was sold on Bring a trailer:
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1960-ac-greyhound/

It's now on offer in the UK for a more realistic price:
EBay #133019464272

Who's up for rescuing this beauty?

Presumably the $65k bid was the owner trying to create interest! I do hope it gets the restoration it deserves.

I’m VERY suspicious of that eBay listing.
Nearly 2 years after it sold on B.A.T for $65k, (which by the time you import it to the UK is pretty much £65k!) it’s on eBay for less than half, with copy ‘n’ paste of the B.A.T description AND photos...
Zero feedback seller!
Lincolnshire address with London phone number?! Scam? (https://www.lovemoney.com/news/28892/0203-code-phone-number-scam-cost-who-owns-this)

Sorry. I’m calling bullsh1t on this. Never mind “buyer beware”... buyer, RUN AWAY!  >:(

Yeah... definitely scammers!!!
Their website has a NEW LISTING FOR a 1958 ASTON MARTIN (https://www.classicauctioncars.com/1958_Aston_Martin_DB24_Mk_III/p6363746_19798363.aspx)

...which bares striking similarities to this B.A.T 2012 ASTON MARTIN ad  (https://bringatrailer.com/2012/04/12/cinder-block-special-1958-aston-martin-mkiii/)

Thieves! Liars!! B@stards!!!

Their website also includes this Mercedes
https://www.classicauctioncars.com/1935_Mercedes-Benz_Cabriolet_A_290/p6363746_19798331.aspx

Which seems to have been featured in this article in California
