http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6161

 

Read the description......."350big block"........ROTFLMAO

Jeff i would email him and ebay and advise them both he has pictures that are NOT of the exact item he is selling. Steven

 

Jeff,
I did'nt know your car needed any paint work.LOL J/K. So I should'nt bid on it then......... What a jackazz.Did you report this to E bay to put a stop to it?? Just curious.

James

 

Jeff seeing that you are selling your car I guess I will just put the parts you have at my house on my car.
I was at ebay motors and was going to email them that the car shown was not his. I didn't see a way to contact ebay tho.

 

Jeff,
I e mailed the guy selling your car to ask him about some of the information he had listed for it.It says that the e mail address he has posted as his contact is no longer availible. Hopefully he got shut down.

James

 

Whats really funny is the ad says with T-tops, but as far as I can see the car in the pictures is a hard top.

 

Jeff, my eBay account rep just sent this to me:
Cut the text out fill it out with the item number and email it to userIP@ebay.com
They will end the auction as soon as they get this back.
If you don't have an eBay acount let me know and I'll send it in for you.
HTH
Jim

no i don't have an ebay account and i can't find a way for me to get ahold of them personally.



it isn't that it's that i'm trying to make a big deal of it because it's my car. i just don't want someone thinking that it's me trying to lie to someone.

i have nothing to do with this auction and the person involved should be made to use his own pictures. that's all.

 

Jeff what's probably happening is this guy will take a deposit (or the whole sale price) from the highbidder and rip them off... with your pictures.
If you want me to have the auction pulled I'll send the form back for you, I've seen your car in person and I know you took those pictures yourself.
I have no problem filling that form out for you as long as you give me the ok.
Stuff like this dilutes the eBay user base for all of us who are legitimately trying to sell cars.

 

well yeah if there is something you can do to stop it then go for it!!

i agree that it's wrong to decieve people....all the seller had to do was post in big noticeable letters that it isn't his car but he doesn't have pictures and this is the closest thing to it. i don't care about using the pictures....just the way he is doing it.

thanks jim

 

The pics with the inflatable bow tie...weren't they taken at the Meijer Gardens or whatever that place is called north of ann arbor? I have some pics from there I just went through, but I didn't get the bowite in unfortunately. Seems like it was Camaro Fest or something...

 

yeah i believe that most of my pictures that were takin in front of that bowtie were from the camaro superfest at domino farms in ann arbor!
