The former owner - scotty boy - is a scammer. Too bad the current owner is getting lumped in with him.
I'm not sure if someone else has tried to scam people with pics of this car but the owner I purchased it from was not a scammer. The car was represented exactly how he said it was and I sent him the full purchase price sight unseen and the car is exactly how he represented it... and he also installed the brakes on it to make it a roller so i could have it towed and I offered to pay him to do so and he refused the money. He was a very honest man. Maybe he purchased it from this "scotty boy" or something but I believe this is all a mistake.
Scotty Boy is the same Esses62 that you purchased it from on ebay. You got lucky. The car I bought from him sight unseen was a rust bucket on the verge of folding in half. It had a leaking master cylinder, bigger tires on the front than on the rear, holes in the floor I could put my hand through, a mess of a djet system that needed to be completely rebuilt, a claimed $10k paint job that was actually more like a quicky $500 Maaco job, etc etc. He told me the car was rust free and in excellent condition.
This is your car's old for sale thread here. It was originally being parted out, then sold as a roller. If you paid $4k for it on ebay, you could've gotten it for $2500 on craigslist. Not sure if you got all the parts that were supposed to come with it.

That's how I missed all the info about rust the first time I looked through this thread on my old car. You have to read the comments from people who quoted him to see what he deleted from his posts.
His original thread on the car I bought from him. A great read on the nature of Scott's character if you have a few minutes to read it all.
