Yes, well the internet has moved the sleazy car seller from the corner
lot  to e-bay without any increase in ethical content in general. No
flames-I have family in the car business. Caveat Emptor is still the
rule, even with pictures and descriptions.

Everybody should look at this one.
Read the description, the car is falling apart rusty.
Look at the pictures, all shiny and black. If it weren't
for spring perches falling off and dropping the nose
to the ground, the car would look very good in distant
pics on eBay. Put a jack under it, lose the honest
description, and some sucker would pay $5k or more for it. 

Reminds me of something I read in a syndicated automotive column my
local paper runs. The author bought a '63 stingray coupe on eBay,
beautifully restored per description, nothing to disprove it in the
pics. Paid $30k plus shipping for a total piece of crap. The
"restoration" consisted of doing a very shoddy job of covering up crash
damage.
