Ebay scam or mistake?

I was listing some parts for sale on ebay and noticed this one.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2431766965

I know some of you guys bid on ebay and maybe even have bid on this item. The blower is not for a 2001-2003 lightning. It looks as if it is for a 1999-2000. Just looking at the bolt pattern on the main picture you can tell, but also on the front of the blower it just says eaton, not ford svt.
The guy claims he just bought it at the parts dept. so they made a mistake or he is lying.

I see people claiming 01-up blowers that are ealry ones all the time on ebay. Don't know if it's just stupidity or people trying to scam.

the lower intake is different for the 1999/2000 and the 2001+


edit: dude just sent me another email

i have 3 of these if your wanting one i have 2 late & one early type im a
dealer for foz the one im selling is the ner style i took pictures of both for
the ad the one late is still sealed in box but yes your smart. but no i wont
send the early one out then i would just have to refund & that would defeat
puropose. ill be happy to send you a photo of both styles to you. i was going to
put all of them on at once but i thought they would bring more one at a time if
your intrested in an early or late one let me know ill send you a corect
picture & you can make an offer. but again i think its good your looking out i
myself have emailed people before when they false advertise some are honest
mistakes like this one my wife took photos wile i was at work to her they are all
the same vertualy they are they all have stage 5 mods but bases are diff. let me
know if you want one by the way i own a race shop look it up in al. (HESCO)
i know diff. also. thanks


So maybe he is on the level. But the picture doesn't show the product he is selling...

He sent me another email earlier which said, "it is part # 1l3z6f066aa i just called ford i dont try to screw people but
just to make sure that i had not made a mistake i have one for 99 also you can
call ford."

I know they are different, but is there any reason if you had an older one you couldn't just trace and drill out the holes? The metal is already there correctly from what I have seen.

Yes you can. How many people would do that? How many people would pay $1K for an old blower which doesn't even look that great to start off with plus have to drill new holes?

Dude just started to bid on my items so I cancelled his bids. This is crazy. I haven't sold anything for a couple years on there.
