Looks like this car:
http://www.928registry.org/1994-928GTS-0071.htm
when it was on eBay back in June.

Then it was for sale in August here:
http://www.motorcities.com/contents/04HG9200232759.html

New eBay auction claims it's in Canada (like THAT narrows it down) and email address ending in .es implies somewhere in Spain I believe.

I wonder if the current owner knows it's 'for sale'.

I just notified ebay through their fraud customer service, lets see how long it stays up. Frankly, they do a very poor job, and hide behind disclaimers. Can't wait for the first successful lawsuit.

Interesting - I've been getting a lot more phishing e-mails from the "ebay Fraud department" titled "Notification of Possible fraud Notice" !!! It informs me that I must confirm my account info.

The link takes you to a page that looks just like the e-bay sign-in page. I am sure many many people get duped by it

I've got a lot of phishing e-mails too. Not only for EBAY but for PayPal also.

I notified eBay also - auction ends in 2.5 days - they'll have it off in about a week...

There's another one on eBay.... with $5,500,000.00 spent on engine restoration alone. You can trust that cause it's a SEAN CAR. Wow! Parts are getting really expensive.
