I looks like a great deal, I bet its a scam. Try asking the seller to send more pics. It hit the reserve way to early. I had the same issue with a 62 last week. Why no motor pics? Ask many questions on this.

It has to be a scam!!! I emailed him 5 times about the car and contact info and no response as well. I turned it into ebay to investigate scam.

what often happens is that ..
a) Using a "phishing" scam, the ebayer responded to a scammer and gave their login password -- which was then used to takeover the account.
b) The ebayer went to bid on something and in the text of the ad, clicked on something that said click here to log-in and bid. when they did that, they were transported to an ebay look a like site, hosted by the scammer. When the ebayer keys in their login credentials, the scammer now has them and takes over the account.
This happens every day. For a while, I was seeing scam items every day and flagging them to ebay. This is an epidemic problem. The scammers have gotten very good -- but the best way to pick em out is either very few "for sale" posts in a while and then all of a sudden, a deal that's too good to be true (like this Vette) or ... all of a sudden, 80 things for sale when the account had no activity.
When you email the account owner, the scammer has likely changed the email -- so they are getting it, not the owner. The only way to shut them down is to report the ad to ebay.
Caveat emptor.
