Default my ebay ad. :)

we have a good laugh at all the idiocy on ebay so i've decided to compose an ebay ad. i'm not selling my car but imagine what i could get for it with this ad!

FOR SALE: ULTRA RARE 1981 CORVETTE!!!! THIS IS A VERY RARE 1981 'TRANS AM' CORVETTE OWNED BY A FUTURE ACE RACE DRIVER! IT WAS MODIFIED FOR ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE AND FEATURES 17" WHEELS WHICH DIDN'T GO INTO PRODUCTION FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS! THIS IS A NO HOLDS BARRED STREET WARRIOR CAR! IT FEATURES CUSTOM PAINT, THE ULTRA HEAVY DUTY BORG/WARNER SUPER T-10 AND ALUMINUM DANA 44 REAR SUSPENSION. HEAVY DUTY SPRINGS, SHOCKS AND SWAY BAR (OFF ROAD SUSPENSION). THIS CAR HANDLES LIKE IT'S ON RAILS!!!! PULLED 1.1G ON STREET TIRES AT WILLOW SPRINGS RACEWAY! THAT'S HIGHER THAN A NEW Z06 CORVETTE! THE ENGINE IS 'UNDERRATED' AT 245HP, HIGHEST HORSEPOWER PRODUCTION CAR SOLD IN THE U.S. IN 1981! RACE BRED FACTORY MODIFICATIONS TO THE FRAME FOR COMPETITION USE. STILL HAS A FULL OPERATIONAL INTERIOR, EXCEPT FOR THE HEAT, A/C, POWER DOOR LOCKS AND POWER ANTENNA. RARE INTERIOR PACKAGE INCLUDE GLASS T-TOPS AND POWER SEAT--IN 1981!!! THESE ARE ULTRA RARE OPTIONS!!! THIS IS ALSO A VERY LATE PRODUCTION CAR AND MAYBE THE LAST TRUE 4-SPEED CAR EVER MADE!!!

o.k. guys, that's about as good as i can do. i'm sure if i were a true ebay troll, i could come up with some other stuff but that should be good for at least 10k or 12k. don't you thing?

You forgot the investment hook. Investment grade vehicles like this usually go for 65k or so. Don't forget to add the time spent washing the car to the amount invested. :lol: :lolg:

This car WAS MINT when new !!!
NO RESERVE super low starting price $10,000
REMEMBER THERE IS NO RESERVE !!!!

Shipping $10,000


You forgot some things.
