CHLAXN,

It was a classified add. One that is on there for about a month, that you cannot buy in the sense that you use buy it now, or bid. It is merely to advertise it, but provides all the sellers information.

I don't know who removed it, but it didn't specify. May have been the seller?

Cheers,

Dan

I've got all the data if anyone is interested.

The guy has given me VIN and Chassis numbers (Duhhh.) But no engine number? Has he just called one of these by the wrong name? And are they QLD plates?

Registration Number: 238KMT

Vin # 6FPAAAJGSW6G54742

Chassis Number: JGSW6G54742

I'll post his reply after he emails me again :beerchug:

Cheers,

Dan

It is common to get peole stealing details and pics form legitimate ads. NVT did the right thing by being suspect as the deal was too cheap to be normal and thus treated the deal with extreme caution.

I ran the rego through Google and got the hits on the other ads. As the ads are in cache, the car is no longer for sale.

If you want to mess around with the guy, find out as much as you can about the guy, contact numbers, addresses, names and then give it to the police.

They are usually overseas and will spin a story about everything. Try to fish info before you go to the cops or ebay

Wow this sounds like the same story as one of my mates got done by a few years back. Everything about it sounds the same, just a different car.

His dad was a cop and there was really nothing the cops could do about it. But good luck with it all.

...but all BA F6 Typhoons are based on the MKII Falcon.

Sorry mate, but I'm not sure what you mean...?

Is this is relation to the, "Is it a MKII Typhoon?"

Did you mean all BF Typhoons are based on a MKII Falcon? Or were you talking about BA Phoons being based on a BA MKII StyledFalcon?

I just wanted to know, as it looks like it has the right front bar and wheels to be a MKII, but it's missing the rear badge...

Cheers,

Dan
