i think it's the same car. the similarities are too close.

one peice windows, early tail-lights on a later car, volkswagen hood script, antennae mounts, orange running lights in the headlight bucket, smoothed decklid....i think i even recognize seeing those same pics somewhere on the www awhile ago.

someone call que and get to the bottom of this.

good news.

i sent the seller an email with a few questions and i was tempted to offer him $6500 cash to end the auction early to see if he bites.

i knew the engine was wrong, but that guy is an idiot thinking he could get away with the use of those pics and that description.

Just got an email from him Silas. I am going to send him one asking for the specs on the carbs in the picture. You ask for the pics of the floor. We will then start the fun. Tell him if all looks good you have no problems paying him his asking price for such fine car.



I got the EXACT same response you did. :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

here is what I sent

Hi Lori.
 
The car looks amazing I must say! Love the colour combination you chose. I had sent a question about the size of those carbs in the picture. What size are they? They look huge!! If you could send me a quick interior shot and perhaps let me know if you are willing to ship to Canada, I can then make arrangements for a money transfer. Again, LOVE THE CAR!!!!!

here is the email i sent him after his first reply....

Quote
hello,

i am very sorry to hear of your personal problems, but i know that things will
look up for you soon.

i cannot find your add on ebay anymore. is it still for sale? i am still very
interested in your car, and from your description, it sounds perfect for what i
need.

is it possible to get more pictures or perhaps see it in person?

cheers

silas
and the reply i got from him/her (that also included the same pics that were in the add)....

Quote
Hi Silas,

I will relist the car for you once we are clear the terms. I have attached you the pictures.
 I said the car is in Cartersville GA, but did not said I'm there also. Sorry for that. I have a new job in Tucson AZ actually and I will not be there to hand it over or something like that. This is why we'll work through eBay Motors Customer Department and they will keep the money until the purchase is final and you test it and accept it.Sorry for not being clear from the beginning, my fault.
But if you make a $2900 deposit I can come back and show you the car, if you are not ok with it ebay will give you the money back.

 Let me know,
     Lori
:wacko:

so now i need to convince him/her that i need more detailed pics, and figure out how to convice him/her that i will pay that amount for the car and how the transaction will take place (unless \"james\" outbids me ;) ).

any ideas??

Ask him if he has a friend that can take a pic for him and send it to him. See what he does. Ask some questions about interior or something directly VW related that you know he will screw up. I want to see if he responds with a \"I have another interested buyer kind of thing\"....maybe ask him if there is lots of interest or not....then we can start a bidding war.....

Perhaps I'm guilty of giving people the benefit of the doubt, plus I never saw the original Ebay ad, but what if he actually has a car that has the same paint scheme as Que's? I mean no disrespect here to Que himself but it's not really a one-of-a kind paint job. Is there any doubt the car in question is Que's?

i'm with you matt, innocent until proven guilty. that's why in my first post i asked que to give us the heads up about the photos to assure us all that it was indeed his (que's) car, and he said he reported it to ebay as a hoax, so i have to assume it was (and is).

i was looking over the pics and the similarities were endless. early tail-lights on a newer car, same hood badge & placement, same wheel combo, same antenae mounts, same decklid (smoothed), same orange running lights in the headlight buckets, same rear mounted reverse light (67 only, i believe), same fog lights & mount.....the first thing i recognised was the pics of the car and the location they were taken in. i could have sworn that i saw those exact same pics after que had posted them (on franklins or some other site) awhile back.

Totally agree but that colour combo is not that common. I can't think of another one I have seen with that colour combo and those wheels. I drool over that car every time I see it.

You guys are insane if you think you'll provoke a bidding war.  The add is a hoax so why would he even think of a bidding war when he can take you both for $2900.  Just a thought, I love the idea of workin this ass over but make it worth while and make him sweat, not start to think something is up.  Things like two guys bidding over the car from Canada might tip him off.  Especially when they are both asking similar questions pertaining to details.
