Well, supposedly in Oregon... keep reading. It's just another scammer. Wanna help me mess with him?
This appeared in our local classified ads on Friday:
I emailed the guy last night around 11 P.M. (I almost asked him if the price was a typo, but decided not to): Re: your ad for '69 Camaro in "The State" paper: Please send more information about the Camaro you have for sale.
His reply came fairly quickly (and notice he tells me basically nothing about the car, which is what I asked for, and even though 801 is a Utah area code, tells me he and the car are in Oregon):
Hello,
Sorry for the delayed response,I have been very busy.
Anyway,I'm glad that you're interested in my car. The car is street legal and accurate and has US papers. . It comes with all the documents needed for registration, it has a clear title and it can be registered into your name at any time. I am willing to sell it for $3700.This buy now price does include the shipping and insurance fees. I'm located in , Oregon and the car is here as well and so this is where the car will be shipped from. I've done some research and the best and fastest way I can ship it is using DTD Transport takes between 5 to 6 days to arrive at your door (door to door handling and shipping insurance fee included). I am affiliated with Yahoo! Finance where I have a purchase protection account for $ 10,000.00. This service allows us to complete this transaction in a manner that is quick and safe for both of us. It acts as a third party between seller and buyer to insure that both parties comply to transaction requirements and provides dispute resolution and mediation between parties. Yahoo! Finance is responsible to insure that both parties comply to transaction requirements. If this is ok with you please reply with your complete name, address and shipping address in your next email and let me know if you are interested in knowing more details about this purchase so that I can open a transaction case at Yahoo! Finance and move forward with this deal.
Thank you,
William Goveia
My reply: Please tell me about the car itself. Do you have any photos of the interior and engine?
His reply(he included a lot of photos of a pristine '69 Z-28): Even I'm not good about cars, I'll try to describe the car the best way I can. It has no scratches, no damages, no hidden defects. It is in immaculate condition and has never been involved in any accident.The mileage is accurate.The engine runs good, the paint looks new ( as you can see from the pictures ), garage kept.

All you have to pay for the car is $3700!The shipping it's only my responsibility and you don't have to pay for it even in case you will refuse the car !You'll have 72 hours for inspection and it's only your decision to keep the car or not!But I'm sure you'll love it!
I must remind you that if we are going to have a transaction I will need your complete name and address to initiate a new transaction case at Yahoo! Finance, please provide me with your purchase & shipping details (name and address "shipping address aswell if different from your address"). After I receive your details I will initiate a new transaction case at Yahoo! Finance and they will contact you with the complete details of this transaction.
Thank you!
The original newspaper ad says white interior... here, he says black. Heh heh.
Any of you guys in Oregon want to go take it for a test drive? I'm sure I can arrange it.
Seriously, I know y'all can come up with some classic ideas on how to mess with this guy.
