Wink Another Fine Low Mileage Example on eBay

Oh yeah... she's a beauty!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6434

I love some of the descriptions... and I quote:

"THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BEEN CRACKED FROM GTHE YEARS. THIS HAS BEEN TAPED TOGETHER (DOES NOT CAUSE PROBLEMS)"

"BOTH FRONT SEETS HAVE GOD SIZE TEARS IN THEM" - Yes, he said "god size" tears - even though it's a typo, I still got a kick out of it!

"THIS A VERY LOW MILEGE CAR THAT IS VERRY FUN TO DRIVE" - have you ever seen a car with 50K on the odo with this much damage? But yet it's VERRRRRY fun to drive! Another typo? I'd guess not.

Poor car - I feel sorry for it. It needs to be put to rest.

To the best of my knowledge, and i have looked at this car, the miles are accurate. The car runs strong, the body is ****. If someone wants a spare engine and tranny, i am guessing it will go cheap. The car was in an accident, and looks so bad because he tried to bondo and spray paint it back "straight."

The steering wheel is classic...painful, but classic.

I'm thinking if you do that to a steering wheel you should have a rope wrapped around a central part of your anatomy and be dragged along a gravel road for 38 miles.

I can't see how that car could possibly only have 52K miles. Was it a part-time demo-derby car?

It would be interesting to see a carfax on it to check the miles.

I think that's the first time I've ever seen someone actually admitting bondo content in an eBay ad - I won't deduct any more points for that!

You have no idea. The car would need right and left front fenders and nose panel. I dont think there was any frame damage. Also left rear quarter
