here's a good one

Found this listing on ebay.

This guy is claiming this car to be a 1993 cobra.

the ebay listing

The vin clearly shows it's a 4 cylinder. I emailed him, suggesting that he shouldn't list it as a cobra. that it was misleading. Even though I think the car is ugly as hell, I tried to give a few compliments, hoping not to upset him. here ismy email.

"you aren't doing anyone a favor by saying that your car is a "1993 cobra". it s clearly a 4 cylinder with a v8 swap. Its a really nice looking car, and doesn't need the "cobra" attached to it. If anything, any real enthusiast will spot that right away and steer clear of it thinking you might be lying about the condition as well as the name. it does look really nice though. I'm not telling you what to do, just making a suggestion. take care!"

And here is his response:

"what favor am i doing??????
and tell me whats a real cobra?????just another sell and a vin that states its a real cobra oooooo big deal.
my car is way better then a " real cobra"
but i don't know what u do for a living but u sure don't knoe anything about cars and building them.
because any real car builder knows that a 4cy body is the best car to build for a race car."

was I too harsh or does this guy live his life "one quarter mile at a time"?

I tend to avoid making mention of things like that to sellers. If they are dumb enough to do stuff like that, they are usually asshats as well.

I saw the same auction as well.

And sometimes, people will add "cobra" to the description so they will get more hits when people do searches on ebay.

I don't see anything in there that would back up his 430hp claim. Wow, he has a brand new crate engine, but fails to mention what kind of crate engine and what size it is

 

[svtdriven]

Awwww, the car is suddenly no longer available for sale! poor little guy, I wonder what happened?!

Its funny when people try to steer buyers in the wrong way so they can make money off of them. ex- someone selling a 01 gt and claiming its a 03 cobra with a s/c...lol It just makes me laugh when I see that because they think there going to make big bucks off of it and they don't because they f*ck up rhe listing.
