Is that a 'fixed price' sale or auction bidding? - low resolution images still don't disguise poor front, rear end panel and headlamp fit. - the kinda car perhaps (being a raptop too) you'd expect to see here for £12-1£5K ?

Yes, fixed price according to the seller.
Car is shown as still taxed on DVLA site.
Should be a 20k $ dollar car in US. I’ve shot the seller another mail asking for more details.
Personally think it’s a scam, but you never know.

Yes this link seems to confirm the scam.
You can never be too careful.
1974 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (C3) Convertible
This C3-generation Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a stylish and exciting classic open-top American sports car, presented in a bold colour scheme. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 5.7-litre ‘L48’ V8, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic...

Had a couple of emails back from “the seller” car is supposedly in Washington, but he can ship to FL or GA “ no problem. 
If he had priced it about $14k it wouldn’t have been so obvious.
Been looking for a “cheap” rag convertible for my niece as she’s putting far too many miles on my 74 454 rag top in GA, not to mention the fuel consumption is killing her. ( poor thing)
They recently went from Atlanta to Orlando to stay with my partner and other nieces from the UK. The 454 averaged about 12 my 16 Camaro SS averaged mid 30’s. One niece was crying the other one smiling.
I’ll keep looking.

If she was so minded that mpg figure could be improved with perhaps a tweak to the timing curve, even a inlet, carb and header and cam upgrade.........but even at USA gas prices how long would it take/how many miles would it take to pay back the expenditure?......never probably.

Things have changed somewhat Capt. - so many 'entitled kids in families today, and perhaps teenage girls even more so.........pulling on the parental 'heart strings' re. their personal safety when going out.........so parents buy/finance/effectively run a car for the offspring. Old junkers not good enough - there is a 'pecking order' relating to the cars.......and a Fiat 500 is generally at the top, generally in some pastel shade.

Amusingly enough, the daughter in the house opposite me passed her tested a few years back at around 17/18 and got a new style Fiat 500 (but about 10 years old)
.And yes, I know it well from my own family - older bruv, then me, then younger sister. Guess which one got not one but TWO free cars handed to them as soon as they could drive (second one naturally after the first expired, and granted both hand me downs from family when they upgraded)? Yup, my sister. Both bruv and I had to wait until we got jobs and could buy our own. I'm not bothered by it at all, I'm happy for my sister, but it does prove your point.... except that was like 25 ish years ago now.
