Thats a good one.

I think I will ask if the unit was rebuilt.

He has his e mail shut off no way to ask questions

I believe he is just not a Corvette guy, but certainly can't be a car guy at all...

Ad also says it's a convertible, but looks like a T-Top to me. Maybe the pictures don't go with this car.

He should have spelled it TACK to really show us what a car guy he is. I saw 69 bids on this car. What, did everyone bid $200.00 apiece?

Reminds me of an old VW Beetle story.
A beetle owner was driving back home from work and his car broke down on the way. After a few cranking, he decided to take a look at the motor. He pulled open the hood and found that the motor was missing. He calls his buddy, another fellow beetle owner to come and help him. The buddy said.. "Dont worry about the missing motor. I have a spare one in my trunk".
