Weissach?
This is the stupidest ebay listing I've ever seen... "Sail for sale, and oh yeah, I want to sell my 928 too".
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=270207512491
Then I realized it's an '82, and is gold. Is it a Weissach? Could be an opportunity for someone. Seller may not know it if he's got something.

Isn't this an attempt to avoid the rate ebay charges for listing an automobile and instead paying the rate they charge for listing a sail that no one will buy since the particular boat it's designed for isn't mentioned?
Does anyone really want to buy a car from someone who conducts business like that?

Yes it is. I would never have brought anyone's attention to it if it weren't for the possibility that this is a model that's considered highly desirable by some people. Which might make it worthwhile to someone to work with a seller like this.

I can not help but think of this...."In 1976, Lincoln decided to cash in on the "special edition" craze that was all the rage in the 1970's among luxury cars. Lincoln Motor Division introduced four "special editions" of their own.
Featured were 4 versions of the Mark IV in 1976, 3 were by famous designers Bill Blass, Fulio Pucci & Hubert de Givenchy. The 4th was a name that has become synonymous with Lincolns up until today, the Cartier Edition, inspired by a New York jeweler.
Each version featured their own special paint scheme, and continued into 1977 when the Mark Series was restyled and renamed Mark V.
In 1980, when the Mark Series was downsized & renamed Mark VI, the Designers continued. Bill Blass lasted until 1992 when it was added to the Mark VII in 1984 up to it's end in 1992. Pucci was used up to 1983, the last year of the Mark VI Series. Givenchy was moved to the Continental in the early 80's after it was introduced in 1982, and discontinued after the last of the rear drive Continentals in 1987, the top-line Continental for 1988 became the Signature Series, a name also associated with the mid-range Town Car. During the '80's, Versace was added to the Mark VII lineup for a brief period.
The Cartier name was moved to the Town Car for 1982, and through the '80's, the color scheme basically changed yearly, but it was always a tu-tone silver & grey. Early Cartier Town Cars were grey & white with white or grey leather, depending on the year. Late '80's Town Cars were generally tu-tone silver/grey with matching leather/cloth or all leather interiors. A Gucci version was introduced for 1989 only.
In 1990, when the Town Car was redesigned, the Cartier remained as the top-line version, along with base (later renamed Executive & Signature Series). Also with the 1990 redesign, more color schemes became available for the Cartier. From 1990-92, there were 3 color schemes: silver, silver-blue & champagne gold. From 1993-up, more color schemes showed up, including dark grey & burgundy. In 1995, you could order a Cartier in crème with matching supple leather interior. As the '90's rolled on, you could enjoy heated leather seating as part of the Cartier experience. In 1996, Lincoln introduced the Diamond Anniversary Edition, which featured a Signature Series-style interior, as well as Cartier features like heated seats, Cartier wood trim-delete on the steering wheel, as well as the Cartier style wood trim on the dash & door panels. ....." I think much of the mystic of the Weissach is that english speakers do not know how to say it... Oh well it is harmless enough to see a trim and paint option as SPECIAL
after all that was the reason they created it !

Not defending the guy, he can probably defend himself , but used sails are very often sold this way, just the measurements, loft, purpose, and cloth weight if known, it's really no big deal. Although a sail with a 40" luff and an 11' foot is a little weird... (Quote: Height is 11' across the bottom and 40" tall). The car, well, not much info, is there?
