In case you're easily mislead, beware of this guy's BS story:

It's just a plain 1300 emblem with part of the last zero broken off.

This is so awesome! I can't believe this guy is still around screwing with people. He screwed me 9 years ago on ebay over a pair of "NOS" Kinby foglights! He sent me a used pair and gave me a great line of BS about what a deal I got even though he really didn't take a close look.
Everett- can a shitty ebay deal be listed under Jordan Cyr's feedback page? He's been screwing people on The Samba for a long time.
Yup- my ebay deals are kept in my email forever. Here's my email to him and his reply:

Yes, you can.
For what it's worth, I see him mis-list stuff all the time.

You can find his feedback through the ad above.
I contacted Jordan and he pulled the ad.

that bothers you, even when it's not readily visible, but the disc brakes/dropped spindles/ porsche wheels don't?
(being european, I guess the disc brakes may be normal.)

didn't say you "missed" it, now did I? The only thing I "tried" was to ask a question... guess you missed it.... 
merely curiosity on my part.

The above is a late model and should be discussed in the late-model whine thread... which it is already being discussed.

What about 85.00 for the bumper spacers. I find them all the time between $1-$5.00. |
