The auction was ended early because 'the item was lost or broken'
Check the completed listings under Shelby; All Models. You'll see the car was listed twice; First on May 1 then again on May 15. In the second listing the seller dropped the Buy It Now from $45K to 35K.
The only suspicious item in the auction was the contact email address listed was a re-direct.
I'd hazard a guess that at $35K he was flooded with offers to do an 'alternative' deal?
Anyone talked to Ernie lately?
