Why does this stuff never end?

Looking at some '69s for sale on ebay... the first one, a green convertible has a grand total of 3 pictures, with NONE of the engine or interior. The ad does not even MENTION the engine, never mind tell you anything.

NEXT ONE... a black/black convertible. Well, we all know its not going to be a code 900, but might as well check. Didnt even get that far. "Selling for a friend," the owner apparently never got around to checking the engine numbers after 14 YEARS.... BUT... he has a friend who "told him the numbers match."

Honestly, I meet people like this every day... buying, selling... just bought the car yesterday and NOW want someone to look at the numbers.

Yikes. Rant over.

No idea but I'm glad it doesnt, one of my favorite things to do is read on the Corvetteforum about all these rediculous ads, its really quite amusing.
