1970 Trans Am Ram Air for Sale (Scam??)
« on: March 18, 2023, 07:49:33 AM »
Hey guys, i am not that familiar with the 1970 to 1973 Trans Ams but one think i know is that there are expensive.
I might call just for fun but I am thinking this is a scam?
Keep in mind this is in Canadian $'s so for American this car would be about 17000.00 :)

I can’t believe anyone would have a real 1970 TA and not know what’s it’s worth. That kind of money would be more fitting for a rotted rust bucket. Maybe it’s a clone? At any rate it didn’t come with white painted Rally II’s and trim rings. Wonder what the VIN number is?

I know sounds to good to be true.  I will try to call the guy to see if i can get more pics of the car including the VIN and Tag.
If this is not a scam would be interesting to see if its a matching number car etc.
But like you said, if this is not a rust bucket and its a real 1970 Trans Am i think that it would be worth allot more than 25K Canadian.
Stay Tuned

IF its a legit TA, thats easily a 40k car. Buy it and put it back up for sale on BAT,  double your money in a week! Either a scam, or a firebird dressed in Trans Am clothing. But, every once in awhile something does pop up thats a deal!

Well it was to good to be true, it was a scam for sure.
I am not sure what the scam was but 2 similar 1970 cars came up for sale at the same time in the same area.
When i ask the guy for a number to call he would not give it to me.
He said give me your number and i will call you back.
He never called back !

I saw a post for some charger parts and same thing he said he'd call me. Nothing for a day or so then he messaged me on FB that my number was no good.... I gave it to him again and the my phone rang. It was just an older fellow who wasn't good with electronics and just got my number wrong. Anyway I got a free car out if the deal, kinda long story...  Just saying, sometimes they are legit.  Deals are out there.

It was a scam :(
I always check these out to be sure, you never know lol
My body got his hands on a super rare 1978 SE with Hurst T TOP, only 400 and change made
The car was in semi restoration state and the guy gave up
everything is there to put the car together and he bought it for like 7000 Canadian.
That's like 5K for you guys
