Okay, this has to be a scam, right? Ebay item #4507726227. If anybody feels like sorting through the red tape and it turns out to be real, this could be one heck of a deal. I emailed him for more details, and here is what he replied:

Hello and thank you for contacting me
I will tell you a few words about the car..
First of all the car is fully restored and looks just like in the
pictures.It is in imaculate condition and has no scratches on and hasn't
been involved in any accident.
The motor runs very well. This is a clasic car that has all of the
original parts and the tires are almost new.
The title is clear ,it is not a salvage one.
The car belonged to my brother. He died two weeks ago in a bike
accident.
The car is now in London ,England as my brother lived here.I am now here as i
took care of the funerals.
Because i can't carry all his things back home i am selling them.
I am willing to sell it and ship it to any of the EU countries or to
US.I will not ship to any African or Asian.
I know that the price is low but i have no use for the car and I want
to get back home as soon as i sell it.
I want to sell the car asap so I am willing to pay the shipping
fees nomatter of the destination.
I require a deposit of $3,000, with the balance when the car arrive at your shipping door.
The total price i hope to sell this car is $9,000 US.
I will ship using KLM 5-6 days, by plane to the nearest airport. From there a truck will bring the car at your door.
The money is a reservation for the car.
First one who makes the deposit will be the buyer.I need the deposit to be
sure that you want the car and in order to proceed with shipping and all
the aditional export taxes.
I wait your further questions and i will provide any infos you need.
Thank you
Regards!

That has all the red flags of being a scam. BTW, I tried searching for that item number and it says it's an invalid number.
