Plenty of horror stories from sellers on Ebay- especially of big-ticket items....but NOT when it comes to vehicles. Since vehicles are titled property, Ebay has essentially just kept their role to what it should be: that of an advertising venue.
Not much that can go wrong selling a VEHICLE here, as long as one takes the steps to protect themselves that they'd take anywhere else.- i.e. accept payment in cash or bank wire transfer; have the buyer arrange their own shipping; don't get involved in escrow- real or fake, etc . There's really noithing that can go wrong for the seller here that couldn't go wrong anywhere else, including a for-sale sign in the window.
There's no Ebay Buyer Protection for cars/no mandatory returns/ etc. so no one can cheat you that way, as they could if you were selling something on core Ebay....
Really, your onlky risk is what it costs you to list it, and then just see what happens.
If you can generate some attention in the car first, by maybe joining some forums where people who would be into such cars frequent, and then letting them know that you'll be listing it on Ebay, it could do really well.
All the things about the car you mentioned? Include that in the ad, with pictures to prove it. Might even pay to spring the extra bucks for a "featured ad" or some other promotion where it'll get before a lot of people's faces.
I'm not generally a proponent of Ebay these days...but for a classic car, this is still the place. Most other nastional venues, either are so flooded witrh dealer ads that no one will ever see your ad; or, are so full of overpriced "I know what it's worth" classics that have been for sale for years (cougfh....Hemmings....cough) that few people bother; and the ones who do are usually hoping to pick up something for half price from a desperate seller who's been running his ad for a year or two.
I'd give Ebay a shot. The only horror stories I've heard when it comes to vehicles here, are from BUYERS.
