Pete Phillips Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Agree, it is a beautiful car, just fabulous, but I dont' think they will get a single bid without any engine or interior photos, and virtually no description, either. For all we know, it could have a 350 V8 under the hood! Probably doesn't, but there's not one word about the engine (does it even run???) and he wants opening bids of $25,000.

michaelod Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) It is a bit hard to determine just what he is selling here. In the title of the listing it is described as a 40 series, whereas later he refers to the car as a 60 series model. Did the 40 series coupe come with a golf door as did the 60 series?

michaelod Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Actually as I gave this ad a second look, I think there is a very good chance this is a bogus listing. Seller has zero feedback, along with contradictory information in the listing. Buick did not build a "1930 Series 40 Country Club Coupe" and a legitimate owner would generally know what they are selling. Not certain this is fraudulent yet, but it is suspicious at this point. I would recommend further investigation before placing a bid. Edited July 14, 2015 by michaelod (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39BuickEight Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 0 feedback and a poor listing for what appears to be a great car! It won't sell that way unless someone local knows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend further investigation before placing a bid. It does look like a questionable ad for the reasons you mention. It's also listed under "Collectibles > Advertising", which is an odd mistake. They did put the golf door on the smaller cars and in some places, like the Crestline Buick book, they refer to the 40 series as a Country Club Coupe. It's definitely not a 60 Series.

michaelod Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 This turned out to be a fraudulent listing as I suspected. it has been removed from eBay. Was a great price on a nice car but to good to be true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
