    So I browse Ebay, like most of you, even when I am not going to buy anything. The other day I stumbled across an action that for a second I though had pictures of my car in it. Unfortunately I don't have hardly any picture of my car on hand, but I did find two that I had up on another web site. First 2 pictures are the ebay car, 3rd and 4th are mine. Weird, right?

    I think "WEIRD" pretty well covers this.

    I got a 2nd chance offer on a car I bid on. I let the original seller know, then I told the scammer it was close to my house so I'd me him to look at the car. Guess what, he never returned my car.

    I had something similar happen about a week ago, with a Hamb connection. I just finished my project recently & started driving it. At the first big show I was at, a number of Hambers saw it. About a week ago, I got a P.M. from one of the guys asking me why I had the thing for sale on Craigslist, since I only just got done with it. He gave me the link & sure enough there was a truck for sale (no pic) with a description identical to my truck (except it was a '34 & mines's a '33).
     
  10. Nothing fishy here but rebecca posted some New England Dragway pics and there was an almost dead ringer for my first car, an OT 71 Cutl***. It was the car my paint mentor taught me to paint on. Pretty sure it was just coincidence, not really my old car.

    theres a guy that goes to the rod run in oceanpark by me , showed up two years ago with a truck painted exactly like mine, he did the slow drags the first year, i was just watching and a friend of mine was pissed because she thought it was me raceing and she didnt get invited to ride along, then about a minute later she spotted me on the sidelines

    Yeah, that's odd? Even though the stars patterns look a little different.. Did you paint yours this way, or it was already like that? Maybe there were two (or more) painted this way for some kind of promotion back in the day? A race team, service station, ..???

    I see a difference..

    Your stripes are different..he started with a red stripe over the door, you used white
    yours looks brighter,,, his faded

    you stole his idea and did it different?..or he stole your idea and did it different and made it look older?

    I kept hearing about some dude driving my 46 chevy pickup around when I knew it had been with me all the time...finally, I met the "phantom truck" at our local cruise. It was pretty similar to my truck. I took a few photos of both of them together. Both the same color, both on 4X4 ch***is with small block/automatics. Weird.
