Sure wish people would learn the difference between "tail lights" and "lenses"...

Nice. It's not often sellers actually read the "whine" forums. Thanks!

You would think for this ridiculous price he would at least get the radio's year right, and maybe not just copy the wrong text from a website (although I do appreciate he at least put it in quotes, even if he didn't attribute it).
And wrong knobs. Save those for the right year.

Maybe email him with some info? |
Yes, 66 radio (6v) with desirable 67 knobs. Here is another one, but a better deal:

I have zero respect for elusive sellers that pull this sh*t (granted, they just joined for the purpose of selling this thing). Eight pictures of this car, most of them being extreme close-ups, and not one picture nor a single word showing or describing the caved-in packed left-front end.
Why not just put it out there for everyone to see instead of hoping that no one notices it?  Notice how they keep emphasizing that it's "SAFE" to drive...

Thanks Everett, I'd swear I copied the link but I guess I forgot to paste it
I also find the 56k unlikely. But more interestingly, it would appear that this "new" member reads the whines, cuz the picture lineup has been revamped, and it now includes a quartering left-front view 
I also find it suspicious that Sasiesq monitors the whines, and makes me wonder if he/she is actually a new member. But what's mysterious to me is how the photos could be edited without the "Ad last edited" date not reflecting today's date, but rather still August 1st. |

I probably confused you because I posted a link to the older ad.
They had re-listed it today but it was removed as a duplicate.
The new ad had a couple different photos and I'm sure that's the one you saw when you posted it here.

| Got it. Maybe they just overlooked the missing view of the left-front when they posted the ad and realized they should show the entire car. Thanks. |
