This 1975 914 that is on ebay was on Craigslist in AZ this past week and I called on it but the guy selling refused to sell it to someone site unseen. It seems clean except the drivers side door is damaged and the drivers side front wheel well. The person who seems to have bought it has already listed it on ebay and is now trying to sell it for around $6000 starting bid. I emailed him because in his description he says nothing of the damage. I was emailed back a rude response.
Just beware the car does have damage but overall seems clean. And he paid under $4800

A mis represented car on eBay? I'm shocked! Did all the pictures of the rust damage, disappear from the original ad?

So somebody local beat you to a car, and you start a negative thread about his ebay ad?

Sorry, sounds like sour grapes... he calls it a restoration project, you would have to be blind to miss the damage in his pictures even though he does not call attention to them.

someone saw what they thought was a good car to flip and snatched it up. that's not a foul in my book. it might work for the new owner, maybe not. i see you're new here, not you mike , not quite the way we play.

I think you need to contact eBay, they will put this grave miscarriage of a misrepresented car sold on their website , right.

Not sour at all. The guy selling it was a nice guy, i actually talked to him. I was just letting anyone know what was looking at it on ebay that he doesn't mention any damage, yet the door and front wheel well had damage. That was all. Other than that it was a nice car, rust free and just sold on ebay for $5300. It didn't say anything about restoration, in fact it was in decent shape and looked to be rust free!
just trying to be helpful
