I don't know quite what to make of this usclassifieds site. While it pulls up ads from apparently a variety of private owners and sellers, many of the ads sound alike. A huge number of cars turn up at exactly $10,400 looking (at least from the pix) that they ought to be more.

Hokay, Update. I found this on a Corvair board and decided to post this anyway as a warning.

Just reading "Roger Cooper's" reply was a big Red Flag to me. Several suspicious statements and the "hurry up" send money now, was certainly the brightest Red.
Looking a bit later on the internet I found that "Roger Cooper" is one name used in other SCAMS recently. An online search will turn up a couple. I'm sure there are others out there. The USClassifieds4all website is a FRONT with fake ads created from legit ads posted elsewhere.
Sadly, Roger Cooper is a real employee of Chevron that is featured on one of their online highlights of their Power Solutions Engineers! The b@stards have stolen his online reputation!

And confirmed. One car, an obviously cared for Studebaker, I found listed on Classifieds4all as being in California, is also listed in a local classified in South Carolina with a real local number. Simple reverse image search brought up ads for it in four states. The owner confirmed the California and other ads are not his. And I know of him from the Studebaker Drivers Club Forum.

Craigslist had its share of Nigerian princes, but its near demise has left a real vacuum for searches. Facebook Marketplace has an absolutely wretched interface that is too much trouble to bother with.
 
Nothin says 10k like a Krylon chrome rattle can job on the dash.
 
$21k at Gateway Motors.

Oh great one do you have a secret link?

I looked at all showrooms for Dodge Polara, (tried eBay too) then now I'm sidetracked/lost at looking at completed sales (Black wBlue interior RR :realcrazy:).

HeH It's puzzling the business that they do with a eekBay rating of 84.6% Positive Feedback, last I checked they were around 89% but within the past month a couple of sales (or no sales) like these will torpedo your rating:

"I bought a convertible from this seller, and they never said the top didn't work
1995 Cadillac Eldorado"

"sold car and kept listing active
1979 Chevrolet Corvette"
