    They sure make every thing sound like it is the real deal but they have had years to get it to a perfection as being legit. Hard to say how many people they have duped into this scam . In the end game they get your money and you have no way to get it back and no way that you can ever find out who is behind the scam

    Car Scams
    The advent of online car buying has popularized the use of escrow accounts to hold funds until a vehicle is delivered to its new owner, and it has given rise to a new form of car selling scam associated with the practice: the fake escrow account scam.

    The most common way to lure used car buyers into this car selling scam is to advertise a car for sale on an online classifieds website, usually a model that is highly desirable. The advertised price is low, typically too good to be true. The seller may claim hardship, may claim to be located abroad, and may even offer to pay shipping fees to strike a deal. In some cases scam artists have gone so far as to duplicate the logo and website design of a legitimate car dealer and advertise irresistible prices.

    If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is. And if you are asked to deposit funds into an escrow account not of your own choosing, or to wire transfer a deposit to secure a deal, turn and walk away. Unless the seller agrees to use an established and thoroughly verified online escrow service approved by both parties, this car selling scam could lighten your bank account by thousands of dollars.


    Sound familiar

    It really does sound familiar haha. Well if you guys are interested I will keep you updated since I told them I wanted my "family" to visit their storage facility to look at their containers and meet with someone from advance shipping just to ease my mind :rofl: I guess I will try to look for a car thru forums etc. I have even joined the maverick forum on Facebook.

    You will find what you are looking for it just may take some time to do it, several people from other countries are on this site and have had cars shipped to them.

    That my friend is without doubt a beautiful car, but I would not want to ruin such a original car. The price also must be spot on. I'm searching for a V8 model since I want a somewhat sleeper car. So if any of you come across a V8 maverick/comet 69 to 74 with little/no rust it would be much appreciated with a link. I rather do paint mechanical work than rust repairs since they are rare in Norway so body parts are hard to come by. Nevermind saw it had the "big" 6syl. Sent him a pm( I think it's a pm) it said start conversation

    Well I'm back to the drawing board again. The DMV or rather the government issued a rule in 2010 that regulates that cars prior to 1972 can not be altered to a larger engine due to exhaust regulations. This means I must get an original V8 car or a 69-72. Or I can do a V8 swap. Go green :coco:
