For me it still looks like a fraud attempt!

I did a reverse image search and there are other earlier ads on this car from
other real sites, in the >$30K land. So yeah, this ebay ad just stole the pics, even
states 1970 in one place and 1971 in another.

So how exactly do you do a "reverse image search"?

The 'sandbox folks' do it all the time using faces. It's a little scary what Google can find just using an image...
