For someone looking here on the Club Cobra (or the Cobra Country) classifieds to buy a car, we could generally assume that they've already done some homework. What's the value therefore in advertising any year model other than when the car was completed?

As an example, there is a 65, a 66, and two 67 year models listed on the first page of the CC classifieds.



Not judging (and certainly not implying any fraudulent intent), just intrigued...



For the simple reason that if you finished it this year and advertised it for sale as a 2012, most people might expect, air bags, ABS brakes, traction control, etc.
To me that would be misleading
