Register as an original? This for real?!
Stumbled across this on eBay. What's with the odd looking CSX4000 vin tag?

Looks like it may be a hijacked account, or some poor person has been duped in the past and doesn't really know what it isn't that they are trying, in good faith, to sell, or it's a deliberate act to try pass off a duplicate CSX4 title as 'the real deal'

It may well be an 'original' CSX4000 title, which makes it's 'value' a joke. Heck you don't even get the picture frame. 
I have no idea what these bidders think there getting!

S/C 427 289 Cobra. Oxymoron or what? Plus the CSX4*** number.
Either he has already been duped and/or is trying to smoke someone else.
He is correct about one thing anyway - he doesn't know much about Cobras!

Only a couple of hours to go so you will have to hurry if you want it.
There are so many errors in the title, it is a joke. 1966 Shelby Cobra registration 427 S/C 289 Ford Kit 65.
Someone is will ing to pay $480 for it.

I think some poor sole has been taken for a $670 ride  . To be fair to eBay there was only an hour and change left when I reported it - so they probably couldn't do anything before the auction ended.

Depending on the number they might pull it off too! Is it possible someone within the SAI corporation could make arrangements, for a price or for a friend, to have a car bearing this CSX4000 number included within the new "Shelby Registry"? I think it's quite reasonable to assume this could be done. A nicely built replica bearing a fake CSX4000 number, who would know? SAAC would know, and they WOULD speak out. Will Shelby? I wonder...
Buyer is from the Czech Republic, he should be fairly safe reproducing a fake over seas and be the envy of all his friends and make a nice profit when the 'heat' dies down. I believe we are witnessing the birth of a fake!

I reported it 3 days ago, surprised it is still posted. Illegal to sell title without possesion of secured item in question.

SAAC is on the case, tracking down the Vin, contacting the seller, etc.

Evil-Bay !! Hah, they could car less.
First they send the disclamers and the "Guide to protecting against fraud". Only time they act is when you threaten them with a Federal fraud investigation or gang up on 'em with a couple of high-power sellers. And even then communication is email only.
They like to stay insulated from any issues.
