There were only 11 Capri's fitted with the uprated 'D' port heads and they were not all 11/72 builds, some are dated back to 8/72 and 9/72.

Just a reminder for those still using the Gumtree platform.

I ran a wanted ad for some parts over the weekend, I've had alot of luck getting parts this way but theres always an element of danger to it.

This one stood out as a warning.
The guy contacted me via phone, polite and chatty, then sent some pics of the item to my email. At this point I checked his number here
https://www.numberlookup.com.au/
Theres a long list of complaints.
I then double checked the screen shot pics he sent me with google images and guess what, he ripped them straight from the net
I strung him along requesting a postage estimate and he voice called me with a quote and his bank details this morning, I strung him along a little further then, shall we say, ended the game.

So if get a call from Steven Phelps on 0484697368 Beware.

If anyones had the same experience with any other of these muppets, post the details for the sake of others in the car community.

That criminal Stephen Phelps tried it on with me only a few weeks ago exactly as you described, as I looked up his p/n on the website as you described, and decided to see how much info I could get, by using his bank account to find more about him.
Knowing my bank wouldnt pay him for 24 hours, I paid him the $900 he was dreaming he was going to get so as to get a Bank receipt with more info.  I rang my bank before the 24 hrs was up and "STOPPED" payment..... $900 credited back.
I passed all info on to Frankston Police and Detectives, AND "ScamWatch", AND his Bank, AND Gumtree.
The first sms he contacted me with his address, I knew something was wrong, as the Town and State and Postcode were thousands of kms apart !  What a loser!  Couldn't even get "first base" right !
 
If we all report these low life scum in as may forums as possible, someday someone will fix him but good, or at least prevent one of us from being defrauded/scammed.
 
I'll publish his alleged "wife's" name when I find it  ........   Probably an alias anyway

Small world Bernie, agree name and shame these muppets, Alexander Evans was the other alias that was linked to that number.
 

thanks for the heads up boys, well done to you both.
 
I think i'll just stick to selling stuff to forum members when the time comes for the cleanup.

Deano dont be put off for Gumtree .............  it's PERFECT for honest people like all of us here on this forum.
 
My name has been on EBAY and GUMTREE for well over 20 years.  Ebay TERMINATES you in a heart-beat if you pull any scams. Ebay site is VERY secure. They also refund your losses if they "miss" a scam.
Gumtree is also on to them, but scammers start up in another name with another PC and get away with it UNTIL enough of us report them.  Honest sellers have nothing to lose on Gumtree as you get the MONEY first, and then you send the goods

dont look.
