Never heard of parting out a perfectly good 2wd...hmmmm

**lolife99** · 12-03-2012, 03:56 PM

Looks like a 4x4 in the pics,...

Looks like a scam.

shawno72 · 12-03-2012, 05:13 PM

Looks like a Chevy.

What are you doing looking all the way over there? Is Shreveport, LA a suburb of Los Angeles?

cleszkie · 12-03-2012, 05:38 PM

Its a real add. I just bought the entire truck for $1 as advertised. Has only 10 miles on the odometer, total survivor. But it does have $20K in back DMV fees. I'm just kidding. Of course its a scam. I will call the number though and ask to see it in person.

Haha- desperate times call for desperate measures. I've been looking in Arizona, too

Since it's advertised as a 2wd and the pic is that of a 4wd, i'm gonna go with scam! But i'm not really sure what the scam actually is?

I have this picture in a collage on my desktop at work... Found it in google images. Ripoff!

The phone number listed is real. A lot of folks use a "likeness" picture in their C/L ads. I see KevsClassic's Blazer in about half of them

I am not sure what the "scam" would be here...somebody has to roll up in person to see/buy the parts. How would the scam work if there are no parts/no truck?

It's the only place to look when you live in the rust belt.

When I lived in Ohio I never bought anything unless it was West of the Mississippi.

So... Is it GMC Jimmy or Chevy Blazer? And why are they asking if it's the original paint and or if the hood has no bondo? How do we Know? They own the truck! Lol...

It's actually a blazer in the picture. People word adds like this all the time so they get more hits in the search feature. Not unusual.
