Perhaps I can snip this seemingly unending spool of a fictitious thread. Instead of adding credibility to what is obviously some type of nefarious scam, instead focus on the root. A vin number does not make a vehicle. The vehicle is made and assigned one. Here we have a picture of a vehicle. The picture has obviously been doctored; who knows about the original vehicle itself, for our purposes it no longer exists. That means there is no vehicle, just a picture. Add to that picture photoshopped vin numbers with no actual validity, and you have an altered picture of a vehicle with further alterations. All the tags, any anomalies etc are all alterations on alterations, to photos. There is no longer a real vehicle. (It is not currently on auction at BAT nor has it been recently, and that last site with a foggy completely other vehicle that charges to see pictures...is at best a very odd business model). I believe what we have here is someone's very poor attempt to create a belief that they owned and are selling a specific vehicle. In essence they are selling us our own belief. It has been poorly executed; and we only lend it a modicum of credibility by addressing, which at this point it obviously doesn't deserve. I believe this type of scam is dangerous, in that it destroys creditability, not just in the item but if not checked; it could spread to the whole marketplace. I hope this is helpful and saves someone from spending time, attention or worst of all money on this type of scam.

Well @joelikessno, unlike you I don't know what most people conclude, and I certainly wouldn't presume to speak for them. You obviously do. I am not sure why you would respond to an honest and constructive comment in a snarky way? Well whatever your reasons, I still wish you the best and assume, you, like me want what's best for all. Honest sincere exchange of knowledge and help in this unique space. Be well.That's a mouthful, @Toyvay and really a conclusion most had come to already.
@arcteryx , I am afraid i do not know delancy
I have always lived by the expression, it's not what you know, it's who. And i don't know anyone.who really knows Delancy..... or for that matter the Bat Man.

If you have something to say to me, I am available. By your definition, whatever your reason, sounds like a personal problem, and personal problems are best left off a public forum.I do have my reasons, but I'll leave it at that.

Now Seth, why on earth would I have something to say to you?
In terms of personal problems and public forums, well, that's why people should choose how to conduct themselves wisely. Another reason for forums like this is to help save others from harassing/accusing emails and transactions. Forums exist to openly educate individuals about specific subjects both subjectively and objectively. That's the beauty of forums.
By the way, are you a Photoshop expert? I also recall being accused of using Photoshop on my chassis rail. s***, should have used a San-serif font
Barry Taylor.....had his RI licence revoked in 2008, he was importing AMG, G wagons and other stuff in the 90's-2008. Pretty sure he passed it off as a 1984.
this will make you feel warm and fuzzy.....bid with confidence

if you have not seen the burn out, drive it like you stole it vid.....its worth watching
Up to $49,900, oh man.
Time is an illusion: At 12:57 AM on March 1 a***a is in a spirited bidding frenzy with himself where he outbids himself by $600 every 3-4 seconds. Then e***e out bids him; an hour and half earlier March 1 at 11:32 am. All times are military (see earlier bids for confirmation). For any of you who already knew this, my apologies for the redundancy.Easy to do when you create an account and bid it up. Take 1 guess which user is doing that? I have seen auctions get pulled by ebay when people start bidding on it for the heck of it- like 3 million dollars.
