DISCLAIMER: After a phone call to the original owner it was brought to our attention that this is not the car that actually "paced" the race, however it did sit in many shows and showcases including gas alley. And we do have all of the awards and documents to go with this Pace Vette. We are sorry if this has caused any inconveinence. Because of this we have lowered our reserve price. Thank you.
You would think he would know this BEFORE he advertises it as such. What a goof.. Very misleading.

$16k is still way too high for that car.

If it is a very low mile 86 roadster, that alone will drive up the price.
I don't think anyone on this forum would knock a sale price, but when there is too much BS,
you gotta say something.
Too much sizzle and not enough steak.

He must have had more than a few e-mails, it's been removed from eBay. I'm sure some have gotten nice cars on eBay, but I would never buy a car sight unseen. I got screwed on a $40 emblem ! Will I still buy parts on eBay ? Of coarse, there's a lot of great N.O.S. parts there, but a car no thanks. The only way I would consider an eBay listing is if it was local and I could view it before committing to purchase it.

This time it is a much better write-up. No claims to be THE car. And now it talks about the 'return of the convertible'.
All in all, it looks good. And since I am the kind of guy that complains about things when they are bad, I feel it's my responsibility to mention when thing are good.
