1. Matching Numbers : the title matches the VIN tag
2. Only 5000 Miles : 4000 of it at the dragstrip.
3. Frame On Resto: they used the Earl Schieb coupon
4. Frame Off Resto: Im buried in this car ($$$$)
5. All Original : its was originally a Corvette
6. Documented : doesnt have a salvage title
7. Rare : they made less than 10,000 of them
8. Hardly driven : unaware of a product called Sta-Bil
9. Price Firm : a: doesnt want to sell. or b: the first lie they tell you.
10. Needs TLC: you aint getting that smell out of the interior.
11. Needs Paint: the fiberglass looks like the vericose viens on Aunt Friedas legs.
12. Rebuilt Engine: Plugs and points. New wires of youre lucky.
13. 5000.00 Below NADA : still 3000.00 too much
14. Bought a BJ Auction 3 yrs ago: still being treated for his nosebleed.
15. Runs Drives and Stops: its a guaranteed death trap
16. Must sell due to divorce: Wife discovered the other woman.
17. " A solid 8" : the passenger side frame rails arent ate through.
18. Salvage Title but has been repaired: they mixed the JB Weld with a boat paddle.
19. "easy restoration" : youre AMEX card is going to need a radiator to keep it cool.
and finally.....20. "owned by NCRS judge" : they expect you to blindly send them a check and order a transport carrier.

Happy New Year.
