Well, there has to be a reason.   Could it be that to the seller, it is just an old car?   And wants it out of the way?

Here is a link to Volo's website:
https://www.volocars.com/vehicles/13985/1940-cadillac-series-62-convertible-sedan
They have it marked SOLD with no price. I guarantee the CL seller didn't buy it from them and is now selling it. As mentioned before  SCAM!!!    Harry

This car is on C/L all over the country, showing a different location with each listing.  Seems that this obvious scam has been running quite a while without having been flagged.

Refer to my SCAM (How to Spot a SCAM) ad ("ad") in this column from about 3 weeks ago.  This is the "poster child" for this method/concept. 

It's SCAM season everyone.  These ads are popping up everyday.  Deposits and money DOES get sent, remarkably, as everyone wants something for nothing.

I'm Janice, glad to see you are interested! The price is $24,000. This belonged to my husband and after he passed away I decided to sell it. I moved at my daughter because I had a throat surgery and I'll stay here for at least a few months. I'm located in Sioux City, IA. I have signed a contract with eBay to take care of the selling on my behalf. It is already at the shipping company here in Sioux City sealed and ready for the shipping. The deal includes free delivery and it will arrive at your address in 7-9 days, depending on the exact location. You will have 5 days to try out prior to making any purchase and if by any reason you find something you don't like about it you can send it back at my expense.

If you're interested in knowing more info about how it works, I can ask eBay to send you an email with more information on how to purchase it. They will contact you shortly after they have the details with all the confirmation that you need to complete this deal and you will also have proof that I'm covered by them and a legitimate seller. If you would like to receive the email with all the transaction information please reply with your full name, shipping address and phone # and they will contact you right away.

I found Bobs old V16 in Modesto some years back....oh well.

Same (exact same) content added to a 1940 Buick convertible sedan, same price too.  Sure does get folks riled up 

[chrisntam]

So people actually send money and fall for this?

I don’t know but antecdotally I would say yes. All of the forums I visit have these finds in their buy sell sections.  Many are posted without noting it’s a scam the original poster thinks it’s legitimate.
