  Looks like someone just trying to rip-off an unsuspecting buyer. Some clues it's a scam:
   - VIN issues, lack of seller response
   - Posted to the wrong category (replicas)
   - Many on these forums recognize and remember that the car was sold on ebay in the recent past
   - Pictures are from when PIM advertised it for sale
   - Price looks to be too good to be true
   - Unusual and unexplained changes in the current bid price and/or the auction (closed, then back up the next day), etc.
   
  Cheers!

    I see it's still listed, and people have bid on it.  Any news on what this is all about?

I am the owner of this GT5S clone and I bought it from PIM 20 months ago. The car 
is an 1983 GTS model. This Ebay auction is a scam. The car is not for sale. I am 
thoroughly enjoying owning it! Please alert others as I will notify Ebay.
Thank you
Don
