[DeTomaso] Fw: Zf Identification

[Phil Lockett]

 Hi Mike, I think I've seen that one and they are usually in some far flung area like Highlands of Scotland or Cornwall. This one is only 2 hrs from me so I could go and pick it up. There's no price on it, he's going with best offer by end of Jan as he doesn't know its a ds25 However, I think it's a dash 1, it appears only to have the 4 bellhousing holes, the cast iron plates behind the output flanges are smaller than all other pics I can find and the tail plate is alloy. What are your thoughts? Cheers, Phil

 Phil,

There has been a scammer in England offering the same nonexistent ZF for sale for years. It’s always at a too-good-to-be-true price. You can pay for it and then you will never hear from him again. 

Tell him you wihkd like to come see it in person. You will then be told some story about how it’s actually located in France at the moment, or something like that. Then say you have a friend in France who can go view it for you. Eventually he will go quiet…

   Hi Mike, I think I've seen that one and they are usually in some far
   flung area like Highlands of Scotland or Cornwall. This one is only 2
   hrs from me so I could go and pick it up. There's no price on it, he's
   going with best offer by end of Jan as he doesn't know its a ds25
   However, I think it's a dash 1, it appears only to have the 4
   bellhousing holes, the cast iron plates behind the output flanges are
   smaller than all other pics I can find and the tail plate is alloy.
   What are your thoughts?
   Cheers, Phil
