Nuke427,
I , like you ,do not have a problem with how he is trying to sell his car. I would also list mine under Shelby on ebay if I was trying to sell it. When I get on ebay and am looking around if I want to look at Cobras the FIRST thing I type in is Shelby. And I don't think he is misrepresenting his car or trying to rip someone off. The only point I was trying to make (granted,I wasn't planning on looking like a goofball when I started ) and ended up making better than I thought is that the way that ad is set up it would be easy for someone who does not know about superformance to think he was trying to sell a Shelby Cobra. Everyone here
was looking at the ad as knowledgable Cobra people and saying that they would not for a second think that was a "REAL" Shelby.

I think that most people do just what I did and skip the description box and go directly to the written description in which the first line says "This Shelby Cobra is top notch," which is a little
different than "This superformance Cobra is top notch,"

The only point I was trying to make and did poorly I guess is
that from a "Cobra laypersons" point of veiw (which no one here is looking at it from) the ad could be a little vague...

I guess I shouldn't try to make points so soon after happy hour


Have a good one,
Dan
