Outrageous ad statements
When you read statements like this, what do you think? 
"I ONLY WANT INTERESTED PARTIES TO BID ON THIS CAR THAT APPRECIATE THE TRUE DESIRE TO OWN A PIECE OF AMERICAN CAR HISTORY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH ON THE (manufacturer name removed )MARK III AC COBRA CARS AND HOW MUCH QUALITY CRAFTMANSHIP INTO BUILDING THESE CARS. THIS IS NOT A "KIT" CAR....THIS IS A TRUE CONTINUATION CAR SIGNED BY CARROLL SHELBY. I HAVE A FRAMED CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY WITH POCKET CARD THAT COMES WITH THE VEHICLE."
Do you believe that the owner has truly fallen for the hype of a manufacturer, or do you think he drank too much of the manufacturers Kool Aid

Caveat emptor. On the plus side he does advise the potential buyer to "do your own research". A recommendation that will be ignored by a good portion of the potential buyers.
I do get the impression he's borrowing superlatives from the manufacturer's advertising. But if it's signed by Carroll it's got to be O.K. Add in the COA and you've got a real deal going );-)

Is there a way to just buy the Pocket Card? And once you do, can you get free gas or airline tickets?  |

I think does anyone really give a rat's ass? Are you posting this nonsense because you are bored? |

Well, thank you for your opinion, way off mind you at your guess, but it's your opinion, so you are freely allowed to post it here.
Bill S.
PS: Is the ad I quoted, "your car"  , or did you just want to come in and attempt to pick a fight this morning because you were the one who was bored?

That kind of wording makes me immediately suspicious so, in my opinion, he's not doing himself any favors.

Incomplete info. Without a manufacturer's name and/or link to ad, I'll reserve judgement.

If I had a dollar for every sketchy nuance I've ever read in any for sale ad, I'd be able to afford a real one. Numb to it all.

So, I got a link. Thank you.
I think he or she is just confused, ignorant or naive. You can never underestimate the stupidity of people.
The car is a piece of American car history, in a very well-known "piece" known as "Cobra Replicas."  |

Sorry about that.
I took some text from your post, Googled it and it went to an ad but said text wasn't there, so I figured they changed it. 
Found it at the bottom. Duh.
Who reads everything, anyway?

Anytime I see big bold writing, odd colors, and creative writing, I immediately ignore the item and move on.

Without seeing the entire context of the ad all I can say is...I think he is trying to sell his car. A certain amount of embellishment would be expected. It's called marketing. Outrageous no.

I should have clarified more. I meant to ask the op about the value. Its an ebay add that is currently active. To me ,it was no more embellished than most adds, Ive seen trying to find a serious buyer. Its a Superformance. It looks beautiful in the photos. To my limited experience on cobras, I think the value looks fair. This kind of ties in to the other thread that is covering all the other cobra forums. It asks about commenting on the value in the sale threads. Ive shared my opinion on that .
