Re: Scammer Alert
Yep, he tried to scam me but didn’t work….any more if someone sends me a private message and isn’t a known racer it immediately gets deleted.

Re: Scammer Alert
I posted a wanted ad here for a Ford 351 C blowproof bell for my Dyno Don 77 Mustang II. Guy responded that he had one, i had purchased one the weekend previous at swap meet. Told him I no longer needed one. He said what else you need. I said an original carb for a 69 Boss 429. He said he had one and sent pics. It was correct and cheap. Just for grins i looked on EBAY at Boss 429 carbs and found an ad for one with the exact same pics I was sent and the carb on EBAY was 5k. I quit answering his texts, and he kept trying to hook me for 2 days before quitting.

Re: Scammer Alert
What is the policy here to handle scammers? This site is where they hunt There should be something that can be done about it.
