Does anyone know anything about the 38 V16 on ebay at the moment. Looks a nice car, but unable to get any response from the seller. And new ebayer with no record!
Rings alarm bells.
Says it is in Morris Plains, New Jersey.
Welcome any info.

Thanks Bobby,
Unfortunately I cannot get the seller to respond to even determine where the car is or if it can be inspected. I appreciate the offer and would take you up on it if I could find out where to go.
Probably just someone not monitoring emails, but too much money for me to spend without some idea the car is as described and does really exist.

Hi , Jeff. Spectacular car ! Even the door handles are perfectly straight ! If you have hit a wall , perhaps initiating communication through Questions and Answers at the bottom of the eBay listing would bear fruit. Good luck , Jeff. If this Cad is not yet in CLC , (hmmmm........ - check the directory FWIW) , it sure should be.  -  Carl

Thanks for the help,
the car on ebay is a con job. The real car is advertised at in Hemmings :

The ebayer has now contacted me, divorcee, needs to sell, doesn't live there, etc, etc. make an offer and we will seal the deal!!
Beware

Jeff,
Hi. Did you see the 1930 V16 Town Car in the "For Sale" section of the Forum?

Bobby, I talked to the owner.  The car has approximately 100K miles on it and is unrestored.  The motor is so weak he can no longer drive it on tours.  His mechanic has told him he needs a complete rebuild and he does not wish to spend the 15-20K it will take.  At 100K I can only assume that the entire drive train needs a rebuild.  Decent price if you can provide the labor yourself and don't care if you end up under water.  If I were younger I would go for it.  Bob Smits #2426
