American Sale Document

While trying to get the engine running and waiting for the weather warm up a bit, I happened to find the original eBay sales document of my car. I guess eBay saves them as PDF files after the auction has ended. Well, here it is:

Too bad that the images are really small and some of the text is hidden but it was still fun to read through it. All I can say is that bull*hit was strong in this one. Some of the gems include:

• Chance of a Lifetime Project Car
• Good Mechanical Condition
• Re-Built Engine
• Transmission Recently Re-Built
• Needs Shift Cable

Let's see:
"Chance of a lifetime project car": yeah, one that you will have to work on for a lifetime to get it running.
"Good mechanical condition": umm, there wasn't a single working electrical equipment, bushings and bearings were shot, rust damage was covered up with urethane foam, all wiring needed to be changed etc.
"Re-built engine": the block was in pretty good condition but the heads were cracked and needed to be replaced or the engine would overheat.
"Transmission recently re-built" and "needs shift cable": no, the cable was fine, the shifter linkage inside the transmission was not. The linkage bolt was loose and it did not shift properly.

So yeah, I guess this seller is as POS lying bastard as any old car dealer...
