Seller uses pictures from the net, showing beautiful original cars.. always adds into their comments section a buy now price listed in AU dollars.... IE... Blue 186 "S" for AU $19,000 Daytona Bronze GTS 350,. for AU $16,000.. Scary thing is these are some-ones cars, showing all details include Rego plates, and Tag Info... Seller leaves an e-mail address to contact for further details, same comment on both cars came back as.... "I am in Broome, currently divorced ,... or... just moved there for business... the car is always packed up at a shipping point ready to delivery at their own cost" The adds come on for 1-2 days, and then lures the buyer to transact through a fraudulent site called Escrow. Ltd, to handle transaction.... DO NOT CLICK... If you are sent a link for Escrow, and enter any details.... a virus is added to your computer to collect all your key strokes, passwords etc.. I bet a few of you may have spotted the adds in the past 3 -4 days... there has been quite a bit of bidding against these cars..... so buyer beware and please be careful.. including having any off your photo's on-line that can be fraudulently used... Cheers BHT

I think this is an australian number.
