What becomes of a misrepresented eBay car? It goes back on eBay!
This time with *disclosures*.
I feel sorry for this guy, obviously after spending nearly $22k, he still isn't clear on what he has. I particularly liked the fact that it doesn't have a key, but starts easily with a common blade screwdriver... :-0

I like the Home Depot fans over the AC condensor.

Might be a good parts car. Beyond that, a boat anchor.
I'd love to know who emailed the guy and informed him it's a V-6. Boy, he's a trusting soul.

What a mess, I wouldn't take that car for free. Between the rust & the electrical spaghetti, it would be too much of a headache for a free car.

Maybe. But the scammer could easily have used inside (under-hood and engine bay) shots from a different car. -MAS
