He uses the word "Mate" a very English term,

Then again, he could be in Oz/Australia? "No worries "Mate " ?

Then shipping would be double what it costs from the US.

He has said he is in texas and has sent a phone number

So many USA sellers, both perhaps private and seemingly trade seem to have an aversion to answering specific questions. Typically you'll ask a question like "is that hood you are selling 'pressed' construction or 'laid-up' from matting". Not a difficult question is it? - and if they don't know you can always look (although TBH if you don't know the answer you are likely to be a 'chancer' or scammer)........no they will respond about something unconnected that you didn't even query!.
I'll ask the question once more......if they don't answer properly they are history re. ever buying anything from them.

he says he is called samuel lee , is in texas and has provided a phone number. May call him and ask more details

Don't waste your time (or money).

Well , after telling me the hood was black and factory lt1, and asking numerous times for payment so we can “proceed” but not answering specifics or sending pics, I received a pic of a white L88 hood , obviously from a website page and another payment demand I told him he obviously knew F. All about corvettes and that he was obviously a scammer trying to sell non existent parts . He has now disappeared! Thanks for all the help and advice and you were all correct, isnt it sad tho that there are scumbags out there willing to just rob people . It tests your faith in human nature !

Glad you didn’t get caught. You would be surprised how many people do.
