I hope I am wrong, but right now there is a 1960 TR3A green on the VTR web site classifids that looks to good to be true. The owner is in Utah, thats where I sent my $9000.00 for a nonexistent TR3. My getting scammed was on the VTR also. Is anybody interested in checking this out. Lets hope I am wrong. Also about 3 weeks ago a lady in chicago, got my name to ask me about TR3's, she needed info to help her buy one for her hubbys birtday. Well guess what, she was all set to send money to the same SOB that got me, I stopped her of course. I have way to much to say and cant type it all.

If anyone is really interested, I'm in Utah, about 2 hours from where this car is claimed to be. Let me know if I can be of service.

It's not one I recognize from any of our club meets, but that doesn't mean much.

I have no idea if this is a scam, but I must add my 2 cents on this subject. It disappoints me very much to see how many scammers and con artists there are out there and I'm talking big time con artists. I've been dealing in cars for over 30 years as a hobby and I've never seen so many dishonest people as I see these days. All I can say is be very careful when buying/selling any car these days. If you have a bad feeling or something just doesn't seem right about the deal. Run in the other direction. There will always be more cars to look at.

Yes, unfortunately, that ad is a scam. The thief is the same one who posted the ad for the white TR3A in August, which cost so many people their hard earned dollars.

If you know any details of this person, please go to https://crimefool.com and help put an end to this massive fraud.
