Hopefully this is legit, and if it is legit, then this is just flat out awesome. I watched the build, saw the final product and researched more on it online. It's an amazing truck, hands down. And the charity is fantastic, I wasn't aware of anything like that that existed... building hot rods. Kind of takes you back several decades when G.I.'s would come back and work on their cars, this just takes it to a different level.

It is legit. I'm on the Gearz TV mailing list. The link to the auction was from an email I received this morning from Gearz.
Quote from email:
Remember Copperhead? Stacey’s ’67 Chevy truck featured on numerous TV shows as well as magazines and displayed many times on the show circuit…well, it’s now on sale on eBay. Click here to go to the auction. Besides the fact that Stacey needs to make room for more projects and thinks it’s a shame for Copperhead to just sit and look pretty, his main reason for selling is more serious. He has recently met some disabled vets home from Iraq who are part of an organization called “Operation Comfort”. This not-for-profit charity provides rehab for wounded soldiers through their program Automotivation by teaching them to build hot rods! You can check out more information about this fantastic charity and get involved with their work at www.operationcomfort.org A portion of the proceeds of the sale of Copperhead will go to this group…it’s a way that Stacey David can give to help a good cause and give back to the soldiers who have given so much for our country.

I'd actually believe the auction IF Stacey announced the auction on GEARZ. Otherwise, mailing list or not, could be a "spoof". I watched EVERY episode of that build and was jealous from the beginning! I remember when he said that with all the stories about the other builds that ended up being hacked for parts then sold, Copperhead was going to stay in his personal possession.
Sounds like a great cause, but I'm skeptical of the auction.

Until then, I'll assume scam until I hear Stacey say it on the television.
