I saw this car this summer at a local car night. The owner (at least at the time) did not know about the GT Forum. He had some strange story about someone else won the car in a raffel but could not pay the taxes on it, so he bought it from the winner (not sure how much).

The Allan Jackson FGT has been on and off the market since the day Jackson turned it loose.

Guys story may be true. I remember the raffle for the Jackson GT - entered it (obviously I didn't win or it wouldn't be for sale).

I am sure a lot of people that enter those kind of things think they just drive the car away.

100% correct assumption. Remember the news reports about the brew-ha-ha created after Oprah gave those cars away to her audience a while back? THEY all 'figgered' the same thing!:lol

(And if I remember right, many of these people reportedly COMPLAINED because Oprah didn't pay said taxes FOR 'em! Swell...:frown) ("No good deed goes unpunished." ...Or unappreciated.)

That auction is the REAL DEAL. That is the correct seller/price/etc. The other auction was just a scammer that had copied this guys pics.

Dear Todd,

Thank you for writing eBay in regard to item #190179948097.

We greatly appreciate your report of this fraudulent listing. We are
concerned about violations on the site and we investigate every report
we receive. In regards to your report I see that this listing has
already been ended and the compromised account is in the process of
being returned to its rightful owner.

Some recent items listed on eBay Motors like the one you have reported
have been the result of unauthorized account takeovers of members
accounts. There are a number of ways these hijackings occur. If a user
had a relatively simple password or password hint question it is
possible that a third party can gain access to an account by guessing
the password. Some eBay members have reported receiving messages asking
for User IDs and passwords or stating that eBay has a warehouse and has
inspected the item in question or even stating the eBay has insured the
seller to forestall possible fraud. These messages appear to come from
eBay or other legitimate companies, but in fact do not. It is important
to remember that eBay will never ask for sensitive information of this
nature through email and that eBay acts only as a venue for buyers and
sellers and does not handle any of the items listed on the site in any
way.

To report this kind of activity in the future:

1. Click the "Help" link located at the top of most eBay pages.
2. Click the "Contact Us" link on the left side of the page. You may be
asked to sign in.
3. Select "Listing Violations."
4. Click the "Continue" button.
5. Select "Fraudulent listings (illegal seller demands, you didn't
receive item, etc)."
6. Select "You suspect that a listing is fraudulent you didn't bid."
7. Click the "Continue" button.
8. Click the "Email" link under "Customer Support Option(s)" to make
your report.

Submitting your report this way enables us to investigate the listing as
quickly as possible.

It is my pleasure to assist you. Thank you for choosing eBay.

Sincerely,
Lexie

eBay Motors Customer Support
