I was looking at this car on ebay and I just love it, and it is a good price. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 59689&rd=1
I decided to read the description to see what is wrong with it, and there is not much that needs to be done to have it in pristine shape. I was excited and about to e-mail the seller when I read the fourth from last line in the vehicle condition section.

You mean the "I WILL NOT SELL THIS TO A KID" line? 
That's pretty lame, like all kids are terrible drivers and hit poles everyday...

OldsGuy wrote: I wouldn't buy it at that price for the earlier statement about babying the car for 1,000 miles because it isn't broke in yet, that is bogus. After rebuilding my engine I broke in the cam lobes and lifters by running it a 2,000 rpm for about 30 minutes in two 15 minute intervals, then changed the oil. That's the way most people do it, probably the way crate engines are broke in too. Also, what about the hole in the trunk the size of a golf ball and the leaky fuel tank?? That car is not a driver for sure. This guy painted a car that needs lots of work and is trying to get too much for it in my opinion.
Yeah that is true, but It's a good price for a classic that's in one piece. It is a good deal. But f him, he can keep his car for all I care!

Hi All
Numbers matching Cutlass S with a 350/350 single exhaust?
Makes me wonder about the quality of all those repairs.
I believe the eBay rules state he sells to the highest bidder regardless of age. His kid statement with reference to the quality of the car is a sales ploy he hopes will suck in a naive inexperienced bidder.
Then at the bottom he states he will sell to the highest bidder regardless.
Makes for an interesting thread though
Regards, Norm
