Constantine Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 This car is listed on a website for sale but when I contact the seller (via the button on the website) I receive no replies. I left my cell number and email address. I wonder if this ad is a scam or a teenager has listed his grandfather's car to see what interest there is. And in the ad there's mention of this car having a drag race with a Corvette... Anyone know this car and the owner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 That car was for sale a LONG time ago. It might be one of those sites that caches eBay auctions and just leaves them there in perpetuity. My '41 Buick Limited's ad is still floating around out there and that was six years ago. I doubt that car is still available. I remember looking at it since I had a Model 97 a few years ago. It's likely just sold, not a scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantine Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Well, I did a WHOIS search to see who owns the website I mentioned above because it seemed to me something is not right. Why have a website with old ads? Turns out the website is registered in Russia, see: Domain Name: CLASSICCARDB.COM Registry Domain ID: 2032199339_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.reg.com Registrar URL: http://www.reg.ru Updated Date: 2018-04-02T20:26:48Z Creation Date: 2016-05-29T20:20:04Z Registry Expiry Date: 2019-05-29T20:20:04Z Registrar: REGISTRAR OF DOMAIN NAMES REG.RU LLC Registrar IANA ID: 1606 Registrar Abuse Contact Email: abuse@reg.ru Registrar Abuse Contact Phone: +74955801111 Domain Status: clientTransferProhibited https://icann.org/epp#clientTransferProhibited Name Server: NS1.X5X.RU Name Server: NS2.X5X.RU DNSSEC: unsigned URL of the ICANN Whois Inaccuracy Complaint Form: https://www.icann.org/wicf/ >>> Last update of whois database: 2019-01-06T06:17:40Z <<< Purpose of the website I think is not to scam buyers out of money (at least not directly) but rather to get buyers personal info (name, email address, telephone number), which they ask for when you send a message from their website to the "seller" about the car.
