Default Scam attempt!

I have an old car I am restoring, as of last June. Found it on a one make car club site, with some pics hosted on Flickr.
Joined a relevant local club, placed an ad for some of the missing parts several months ago.
Got an email early today from "eric53lawrence@gmail.com" offering unspecified parts for my car. I replied asking for specifics and location. He sent back a pic, saying he was going to break this car up, what did I want.
Sadly it was one of the original Flickr pics of MY CAR. I sent him off with a few words.

Watch out for him.

Well, the good thing out of this is that you won't have to pay any outrageous shipping costs if you buy anything from him.

Seriously, thanks for the warning
