Where the freak is DUBAI????...Anyway, love the small thumbnails that you can't blow up for detail....Doesn't smell good. Reminds me of the "I've got an associate in the US who owes me........" rap.
Seems a shame there's no way to stop someone getting ripped off with this
Where the freak is DUBAI????... BIG sand pile way east of here
It's listed as Dubai, United States.

Well in that case it must be that sand pile way east. Wait isn't that New Jersey?
" IT HAS ABOUT 100,000 MILES ON IT I DO NOT KNOW IF THAT IS ACCURATE.
I thought New Jersey was the Garden State......
Oh yeah? New Jersey the GARDEN State??
Well, since I finished trailering Pearl through that "garden", it's taken me a couple of days of elbow grease and LOTS of McGuire's rubbing compound and polishing liquid to get the gritty-feeling scum off her paint from that trip. The paint felt fine when I left South Carolina, too...glad it's finally coming around.
I've heard that parts of New Jersey are quite beautiful, but none of that lies along the "New Jersey Turnpike". The absolute worse gas/rest area we stopped at was in New Jersey I-95.
Sorry, you "Jersey folks". Rhode Island has Central City (and a big part of Pawtucket), and Jersey has their Turnpike.

The seller has a positive feedback of 98%+. Email him and ask ????before you put the noose around this guys neck.
Did just that. I got an email back from him that he was going to change his listing. He lives in the States and is in Dubai cleaning up an estate. Shipping some stuff back and selling the others.
"Email him and ask ????before you put the noose around this guys neck. "
But why do that? Internet forums are all about spreading the "truth" . . . in all of it's variations. E-mailing him would only provide the facts.

Thanks for the Geography lesson Mike......give me New Jersey any day....it's sad but because of the latest foreign Internet scams we kind of grow suspicious about anything don't we?
:)
Ebay, will have to end it. He emailed me back and said the following
Dear stevenorkathy,
You asked:
"I hate to be the one who breaks this to you, but that is basically a replica of a 1957 speedster....most likely built by Vintage Speedsters in Southern California....you are going to have to change your add and start over...you can't pretend this is a real one...no one in the market for these cars will believe it.
THANK YOU FOR THE INFO. I HAD MY DOUBTS AND AM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO AUTHENTICATE IT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER FOR ME.
He has since answered and posted 6 other questions without mentioning a word...he is also be very careful about how he says things....he may be an honest guy just hoping it is a real one, but come on, would he just throw it on ebay without finding out what it might be worth?

In looking at this guys number of feedbacks, he is not a newbee to the world of ebay...he is obviously playing dumb with his ad....This car isn't worth much when you consider all the things that can go wrong.....
How dare someone try to sell a speedster under suspicious circumstances...Don't they know about the SOC.....

Mike,
Does the direction of that giant sail-of-a-building dictate the cost of our gas? From the looks of it, it's seems to be heading north!
$2.32-9 for the cheap stuff in NYC - What's everybody paying?

97.4 cents a litre here CDN. OK here is the calc.
97.4 Cents cdn = 79 Cents a litre us
3.785 Litre = 1 US gallon
so, here the price is 79 us x 3.785 l = $2.99 usd a Gallon
Phew, can't you change to Litres?
In the UK it's about 96 pence a litre which is $1.80 a litre again x 3.785 makes it, $6.83 a gallon. So lets complain but remember we've got it good compared to Europe where gas = taxation and has always been high. Be careful this is coming our way.

What a shock it was when I had to fill the tank of my Ford Escort in Ireland the first time;
$52 US to fill a 12 gallon tank? 'Course, that was five years ago - It's probably mimic'ing the UK right now, so it would be closer to $80 USD (!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!)
Time to start looking for a diesel Jetta..........

Don't worry gas should hit an all time high of $3.00 this summer. The price per gallon could be more if any of the refineries have any problems.
What's a 32 oz bottle of water cost? $1.00
So $4.00 for a gallon of water.
It cost more to make gasoline.

Diesel Jetta TDI's are real popular here and have been for about 10 years. 1100 kms on a tank of fuel, amazing! This is the second year of Smart cars in Canada and there are people in the cities that drive them all winter. That's diesel as well.
i live in jersey and i've been to dubai. for those who haven't seen it your not
missing much.
missing much.
I must add my 2 cents on Jersey...I wrote a travel book on New Jersey (I've heard all the jokes already, so don't bother) called New Jersey: An Explorer's Guide, which will be at a bookstore near you in June. The Garden State gets a bum rap because of the Turnpike, it's actually quite beautiful in many places, including many country roads perfect for Speedsta's.

who let the dogs out?
I certainly hope you are taking this lightly. Sure there are some nice places in NJ like there are nice places everywhere. Then there's Atlantic city and Camden, Newark and Hackensack not so nice places like there are everywhere.

Yeah, it seems like our illustrious US Interstate Highway System went out of it's way to go through the worst parts of each city and state it could find.
After driving the NJ Turnpike for years and wondering how people could live there, I finally got out to Bedminster, NJ, to AT&T, and also to whatever town UPS has their headquarters in, and I found that LOTS of NJ is REALLY NICE!!! Sure was a surprise to me.
I used to travel a lot, and most cities in the US and Canada have really nice airports - even Newark International is pretty nice, now that they've spent the last 25 years re-doing it (constantly).
THEN, I returned to Boston's, Logan airport and all that construction of "the BIG DIG" |>(. Boston's Logan Airport has to be about the least attractive airport in North America. Everything closes at 8pm, the roadways to/from the airport changed almost daily during the Dig construction for 20 years, it's hot in the Summer and cold in the Winter and dirty year-round. People go to Orlando on Vacation and arrive at a veritable Oasis of gardens, lakes, fountains and greenery. Then they get back to Boston and are greeted with gray - everything's gray, even the complexions of the people!!
I-95 through Providence, RI, goes through the worst part of the city, too. Go three miles either side and it's beautiful, but from I-95 it looks pretty grusome.

Hey guys...how did this post go from "fraud alert" to the price of gas per US gallon?...personally I think it should cost $50.00 per US gallon so everyone would stop bitching about the price and finally figure it's time to just anex all the "Arabic" countries along with any/all other "oil production" so called countries and end the discussion...period!...almost forgot...nuke germany and france while we're busy drawing everyone's attention toward the towel-heads and their rolls-royces...who knows...could be fun?...second thought, just nuke france...I still like German beer...how's this for "getting off the subject"...hehe!
eat more haggis!...help support Scotland's economy!

You're right! Isn't that weird?
I was born and raised (for a time) in South Boston, where everyone was bright red and freckled. Even as kids, we noticed that one you crossed the bridge, once you passed the Edison plant, things began to lose their color.
Weird . . . especially the people . . . kinda gray.
You're right ! !

Ad is gone.
Playing dumb, maybe. If he was, I am sure he was still hoping the bidding would grow and have an out when the sale went through as to the authenticity of the car,.."don't know for sure".
It is kind of like the,.." selling for a friend so I know nothing about this item." "found in a box of junk that I bought"...etc.

Funny though the ad was changed last week in BIG RED LETTERS, this car is a replica..and on it went about being made of fibreglass and all. Oh well! Too far for us to go look at it anyway.
