Thats the EXACT one that this "person" was trying to sell for $25,000 just two weeks ago. And, two weeks ago it was supposedly located in a place called Sikeston MO.

I got a little bit nosey with the guy trying to feel out the situation and acted interested.

The supposed owner told me that if I wanted the car he'd sell it to me for $25,000 CASH ONLY. He also would not give a phone number to call. He gave me an address, 220 Dewitt Drive Sikeston Mo, 63801, he said that was his shop location.

He told me that if I came to get it ( 9 hour drive) , that someone at this "place" would contact him and he would meet me there. However...he would not give me a time that he would be available...... Yeah right.

This person, also claimed he bought it through Barret Jackson and it was perfectly clean and wonderful.....yet he told someone else it was a theft repo, had sat for two years, and it was loaded with a forklift and they knocked the window out etc.

Funny part is....the shop owner from Sikeston showed those EXACT same pictures and said that was his shop. However those pics say it's in Iowa.

I wouldn't touch this car with a 30 foot pole. Good Grief, the story gets more complicated by the day. lol
