I appreciate the OP posting this from the Samba site. Though the seller (Samba listing) does not come out and say it, he is obviously offering this rust-free 4-cylinder chassis along with a complete set of 914-6 VIN numbers so someone could make the 4 chassis a 6 chassis. Down the road, some poor enthusiast is going to be ripped off. Buyer beware. Personally, I think that is Fraud. I have emailed the administrator for TheSamba.com and alerted him to this and requested they pull that ad.

Take a $1000 roller and add the cut out VIN tags of a wrecked (assuming) 914/6 and poof -$17,000. All while saving yourself the trouble of commuting fraud.

I’m all for rebuilding special cars, but c’mon, what you really have is a metal ashtray.

I received an email last night from TheSamba.com site administrator telling me he would look at the ad and make a determination. This morning the ad is still up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)

If that is the standard TheSamba.com has for their Classifieds I will no longer be on their site. That ad should have been removed immediately.

Does anyone know the VIN of the /6 that they are offering with this roller? While we're at it, does anyone know the VIN of the donor car?

What a weird ad. I had to read it twice. So, you pay $17k the priviledge of buying a hulk, with visible rust, with some bits from a 6 to perform some obviously fraudulent and illegal act? 6 build and swap, paint and all that goes with that? So, 60k+ all in? Bonus, you would have to go fetch it. That's a $500 chassis to me. Maybe.

He would have been better off showing what is left of the 914-6 and asking 17K. Having no title is the big RED FLAG!

A pretty nice car showed up in Washington. The frunk was nicely covered with perlon. Upon exposing the #s stamped on the wheelwell, the numbers didn't match the rest of the car. Scrap.

I just emailed the Samba administrator again, as the ad is still up. His email is everettb@thesamba.com. I restated my position that this ad perpetuates fraud by selling a 4-cylinder chassis along with a set of 6-cylinder chassis VIN numbers. The fact the 6 VIN numbers are not listed really makes it obvious that is what he is offering to someone. People like this need to be taken out back.

Here is the reply I received from Everettb:

I agree that could happen but we allow people to sell VIN #s, etc if they have all the paperwork/title/etc.

It's the same as someone selling a pan with title and then using it to register a Dune Buggy, which is illegal in a lot of places.

I'm going to ask for people's opinions on the site.

If he was actually selling a fake/misrepresented car then YES, I would remove it.

Everettb contradicts himself as he states "... we allow people to sell VIN #s, etc if they have all the paperwork/title"

The ad clearly states the 6's VIN's only come with a Bill of Sale, which if we're being honest is really little to no paperwork.

A bill of sale only records that money was paid for a product or service. It doesn't validate the item. I could charge $10 for Michael's car and give the person a bill of sale but it doesn't show or transfer ownership. Though maybe it does document the fraud?

If I was the Samba, I wouldn't want it on my site.

That was my point, a Bill of Sale ISN'T paperwork I was being kind saying "little to no"

I absolutely agree. In this instance, it appears possible TheSamba.Com and now Everettb (as he now has knowledge of this FS ad and did not pull it) are perpetuating fraud. Of course, if some inexperienced 914-6 buyer ends up with that car and discovers the VIN swap fraud, should it happen, which is a crime, I would think TheSamba.Com and Everettb may also be on the hook for monetary damages. Foolish of TheSamba.Com to allow this ad to stand.
