Yes, that is the same FG COPO Chevelle that sold at Barrett Jackson. It was parked right beside George Lyons DY COPO Chevelle. The write-up on the EBAY listing was taken directly from the BJ website.

And no, these type of crooks and scammers will never learn.

If you click on any of the links, you open his email address message box. For example:

- Watch this item.
- High Bidder.
- View seller's other items.

Don't know how you accomplish that in the listing

Don, That seems to be the new thing. You can still go to the bottom of the page and bid. I do that sometimes just to mess with the auctions. I'll bid up in the millions. A lot of these scams are by yhe same person because I have been blocked from bidding on a lot of them. Another new thing I've noticed lately is these guys will register a lot of names with Ebay that are one digit apart. For example, jfkheat1, jfkheat2, jfkheat3 ...... They will list one or two items under each name. I haven't figured out how they are not registered users and still have the auction up and running. They always cancel my bids but I didn't think they could log in on an account if they are a registered user. That has be baffled.

When will Ebay get a handle on this type of fraud??? There should be an approval process for placing an ad..some kind of scrutiny by qualified people!!
