For a 1989 Corvette Roadster? There are maybe 3 words that are not misspelled in the entire ad!

Some public school early development programs teach phonetic spelling before they teach webster or oxford spelling. The Bubbas that dropped out before first grade to go to work at one of my local oil change places never got the chance to learn correct spelling. They did, however, learn to beat brake fluid reservoirs shut with crescent wrenches. This seller may be one of those.

I can’t comment on the spelling I am very poor at spelling myself. At least the car is clean.

He may think it is a roadster due to the Targa top. I agree, clean car for $5500. Someone should go look at it and pick it up. Would make a great DD for someone on the cheap.

And write him a check for $55. He won't be able to read it and probably doesn't know what a decimal point is.
