Ebay 67 L-88..... Update

[Michael H.]

This is an update on a previous string of posts on the ebay 67 L88/300 HP that started Thursday, 22 Dec at 9:36 AM. The ebay listing is still running as of 8:45 AM today. Ebay #4599356175.

I wonder if it would be possible to advertise the original 300 HP paperwork for that car on ebay in an auction that ends just about exactly the same time that the auction ends for the car? There's almost four days left on his auction now so if the original paperwork auction was started Sunday night and ran for three days, they could both be together at the end, one above the other. I suppose using the L88 engine code in the listing/heading would draw attention.

I would be happy to do this.

I think that's a very clever idea. The ideal seller would be G.L. Anderson of course. Please do it.

If Mr. Anderson doesn't have an eBay account, I would be happy to use mine to run the auction. All I would need is an e-mail from him with a scanned copy of the original sales records that I could post with the auction description.

Oh I do have an ebay account. I am thinking of emailing him and giving him one chance to pull the ad before I take steps to burst his balloon. Thought I would get Christmas out of the way first. GL

Even better, bury his ebay item # in the ad somewhere, so a search pops up your ad too.

Heh heh.

Merry Christmas.

Good idea Patrick. His ad will have exactly three days left tonight so if a three day ad is posted this evening at just about exactly the same time as his ending time, they will be together. The car listing ends at 17:51:42 PST (5:51 PM PST)

As far as I'm concerned, he already had his chance to ease back out of this deal but, instead, chose to boldly stick to his story. I'm really tired of all this phony nonsense with bogus cars, paperwork and phony private auctions and I think the only way to slow it down is to expose as many as possible. It's giving our hobby a bad reputation.

I wish this was a new thread so a lot of people would see it. I'm not afraid to voice my opinion and I'm glad that the majority of others on this board feel the same way.

Copy of email sent to ebay seller.

Sir. It would be in your best interest to do one of
the following. Remove your ebay ad on the supposed
1967 L-88 Corvette item number 4599356175, or revise
the ad to state the truth, the car is not a genuine
factory built L-88, was built from a small block car
and the supporting documentation or copies there of
are fake. Much of the Corvette world has been notified
that the car is a fake and your documentation is
fraudulent. Should you choose to keep up this charade
I will be forced to take further action to make the
truth known to those ebay buyers that may not be
involved with Corvettes and don't know the real truth
about your car. Beyond the ebay world I will be
working with my attorney and law enforcement about the
misrepresentation of the car and falsification of
documents. You have until 10 PM 25 December 2005 to
remove or revise the ad or I will be forced to take
further action. Don't bother to email me back with
some BS about what I know and can prove and what you
don't know and can't prove. GL Anderson

Auction still running...
Jerry Bramlett -- Sunday, 25 December 2005, at 6:40 p.m.

I don't know what you mean by "removed". It wasn't ended early. I hit the refresh icon too. Is my computer operating in another dimension?

I even searched for auctions under that seller's name and found it again.

It'd also be interesting to file a fraud report with E Bay and see if they take any action on it.

On the ebay listing yesterday I posed specific questions to seller whether the car was originally a Shriner car and whether the car was the exact original block or a restamp. The question never was posted or anwered on the listing site. Dont know if this is a violation of ebay listing agreement, but will contact ebay tomorrow. You guys have integrity and iron you know whats to pursue justice...keep up the good work..brad

Re: Ebay 67 L-88..... Update

Latest update on the (still running) auction is a claim that the seller went to Neb. and discussed the car with the "Son of the Anderson Dealership owner" who did not have the paperwork to identify the option configuration of the car. Now up to 180000+ and not at reserve!

Re: Ebay 67 L-88..... Update

everybody please read GL Andersons post of monday at 9:29 below( this is from the Thursday thread.) He offers a way for members to help stop this fraud. So far only about a dozen people have read that post, and hundreds have been following the story..

[Loren L.]

I'm curious...I'm told that the ad is

placed by someone in Iowa; 6 or 7 years ago when the car first appeared at a Kruse auction in Scottsdale, I seem to recall that the owner was from Oklahoma. Is it the same fellow now or did he actually find a victim, ie the current seller?

[GL Anderson]

Re: I'm curious...I'm told that the ad is

The guy that is selling the car is the same one that came to see me in the early 90s and wanted me to back his story about the car. He even said "I will make it worth your time to back me up on this" He had the original Nebraska title showing the first owner and told me a story about how the guy got a divorce and that is how he got the car. The pics he had still showed a blue interior now red in his ad. Same guy, same car, Same BS. GL

Let's take this up a notch.

Re: Let's take this up a notch.

Jerry can you fine tune the ad so that more corvette searches pull your ad. Or at least access your ad and the car in the same search. I tried to go through normal ebay and they did not come up in the same search. Im no expert in ebay so I cant help...brad

[Brian M.]

Re: Let's take this up a notch.

Now that's funny.

[GL Anderson]

Re: Let's take this up a notch.

I think if you revised your ad heading to 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L-88 it would come up better. Just a thought. Also the Ass Chief of Police was just here and sent a complaint to ebay in the area reserved for law inforcement. Hope it does some good. GL

[G B.]

It's too late to revise my title.

But all you fellers can post your own eBay auctions for just 35 cents.

I'm not afraid of competition.

[Kevin M.]

Can I sell your email address?

[larry linkous]

Jerry.............

If you have no bids and 12 hours left I think you can revise the title.thanks Larry

ebay listing

Here is the ad I put on ebay I don't know how to post the whole thing so this is the item number 8025205353 or you can look it up under 1967 Corvette L-88 it comes up right under his. GL

[Tracy C.]

Great ad, but you should list in the same Category

as the car is listed in. It's in category: eBay Motors > Passenger Vehicles > Chevrolet > Corvette

Some people only search the "passenger vehicle" section for complete cars.

Re: Ebay 67 L-88..... Update

I understand that income earned by fraud is taxed as ordinary income, not capital gains. Someone should report this seller to the IRS and earn a little bird-dog money. I think that GLA deserves the right to that money; after all he turned down the sellerIn his bid for authentification.
