Judging from the sellers email's sent to me, it looks like it was legit. You never know what you may find on CL. Yes there are lots of scams out there. But there are a lot of fire sale/deals. You just have to be careful! I will add. I purchased my 2001 C10 over a year ago for the sum of $400. At first I did not believe that add. It had 5k on it with a hydro-locked motor. The PO nor I had any idea what was wrong, till I tore the motor down. Then with spare parts help from some of the great people on this forum, I got it up and running. So for short money, some hard work + a bunch of upgrades from Murph. I now have a great running bike that I have put almost 6k on in the past year.
