F'ing scammers will go to great lengths to steal your money. ebay has been notified that it is a scam. No idea how long, or if they will take it down. Hopefully before some poor soul loses their money. Here is a link. Just by googling the listed phone number for a "test drive" comes up as a known robocall scamming number. I guess the ad looks more legit to have a phone number listed for a test drive. Easy to call out or flag scams on fb, etc. Not so much on ebay. 1970 Plymouth Duster | eBay
 
The listing states that it has an 8.25 rear axle, knowledgeable enthusiasts should catch that as a red flag I hope.
E bay should pull the listing immediately IMHO.

FLEABAY is terrible when you need help from a human being. OK if you are just going through the motions of a transaction that is trouble free. Before I was a member here, I bid on a 1966 Barracuda that was on ebay. I won the bid but it was below the reserve. The "owner" contacted me through ebay to make a deal as we were high bidders. Several red flags went up, so I asked the guy for a copy of his driver's license. The address was not in the same state as the bank for money transfer. His name came back to a famous flute player from Finland. REALLY? So, I searched for the car and found he was a member here and oddly enough not a flute player from Finland. LOL I turned him in to Ebay and law enforcement in the state where the bank transfer was expected. No arrests were ever made...ebay finally took the ad down. The next week he had a 69 Barracuda convertible on Ebay under the same womans ebay account. Ebay never caught it.
 
Ebay needs a nice big class action suit. Last time I had a problem with a seller, I went through FIVE people before I could even get anyone I could understand, as their "EEEENNNGGleeeeeesssssseeee" was so terrible. And then I got some ?female? who simple could not get it through her head what was misleading about the title / description. For some reason, in the last minute of the conversation, I got her to change her mind, and I AM STILL NOT SURE WHY she did that.

Reported this, for all that might do...........

You can buy it now for the low, low price of only $62,000.

Well, considering that I have turned down significantly more than that I sure hope someone doesn't "Buy It Now." Can you imagine the horror of trying to get an ebay refund on that?!?
 
Glad they took it down. I am surprised it disappeared this quickly. So that means an actual human got the reports and checked the legitimacy of the original poster.

Well, where would I replace it for twice that? Seriously, tell me where I can get another V02 optioned FM3 Duster and I will make a phone call and sell this one in a heartbeat. I need an automatic for my wife to drive anyway. I would even consider trading it for an automatic purple or blue V02 Duster.

There was a FM3 duster for sale a while ago but it was a/6 car. Guess I missed a good one as I came across a FM3 duster with a painted black roof from the factory and if I remember correctly they were asking 25k.

What is the VO2 option on a duster? I Google it and nothing comes up for it
 
V02 is the two-tone option code. If you came across an FM3 black painted roof Duster, you probably are talking about the one I have. Since the 2004 article in MCG on this car, no others have shown up according to Galen and the panther pink/moulin rouge site.
I didn't buy this car because it was FM3. I didn't buy it because it is a 1 of 1 known. I bought it because I had been looking for a two-tone A, B or E body ever since I saw one at the Mopar Nats in 1990.
