It looks WAY too fake, no BG in almost any of those pics, and the pic of it with the top on and off are identical save the top - it looks more like pics of a model car than a real one. Anyone who spends that much on eBay is insane anyway!

Pebble Beach, it's expensive
It's a legitimate auction, through the Pebble Beach Foundation (associated with the Pebble Beach Concours) each year. They also have auctions at the Concours. Jay Leno was there when I visited several years ago, so was Phil Hill. Celebs do show up for this.
The photos DO evoke a model car image, but this is where the 100 point cars show up. If you ever get a chance to visit the Concours at Monterey, it's worth a visit. Almost as amazing as the Concours is the parking lot for the visitors cars! Even the ladyfolk can go shopping at nearby Carmel. You can take the famous 17 mile drive along the coast, for a price. Everything is expensive there, the gasoline has long since passed $4.00 a gallon there. This isn't your show and shine, or cruise night. This is the big time. You can see people with little brushes, cleaning the grass between the treads of the tires of the cars in the show.

i thought at first it was a model too, but if you click the pics up bigger it is clearly a real car.
the price seems high but if it has real ralley history maybe it is for real at that level. it will be interesting to see where it ends up. i would definately give my left one for that. heaven knows i already have all the kids i need... but no 300sls. tom w
