Real Auction on eBay?
Does anyone know if this car on eBay is a real car or another fake offshore auction?

89,750 miles? Something wrong with that......
It's a Contemporary, Jag IRS, 427 top oiler.
No reserve leaves me VERY skeptical this is a serious sale. My guess is the seller will not complete the deal if the price isn't high enough. He'll just blow off e-bay and contact bidders AFTER the sale.
This ASSUMES of course this a "real" car and a "real" seller. Something is NOT right about this deal.

I believe I have seen this car on eBay before which makes me very sceptical. I would contact the sellerr before I got too exicted about this opportunity!
Very Nice car! One of us should contact the seller and let him know that some here at CC have questions about this action being legit. If this is a legit auction I am sure the seller would love to respond and get some much need publicity here at CC.

I have sent an e-mail to the seller expressing my concerns about this deal. Haven't heard back yet.

I have never seen a replica cobra with 89,000 miles, let alone areal one. Car looks like it held up pretty good with all those miles.

It's bogus, I believe... 
That car is on CobraCountry for sale at $64k... car is in Michigan
eBay listing poaches pictures and says it is in NY
Current listing on Cobra Country...

The telephone number listed in their "Show Room" is bogus. This has GOT to be scam.

Yet another bogus deal on eBay? Is this common on all makes and models on eBay?

There's a FFR owner who goes by "Traveler" on ffcobra that claims to have something like 198K plus ... as of last month. Here's his sig line Owner of FFR 1436
Supercharged and now over 198,770 + miles (as of 03/27/2004). Hope to one day be the first million mile FFR!. Not trying to give validity to this bogus eBay auction ... just pointing out some people drive the dickens out of their Replicas.  |

Some people have big miles on their Cobra, I know ONE guy who does here in Hawaii.
Make no mistake, it IS very rare for a Cobra to have "big" miles on it.
