Default Help! Good ways to make a car ad stand out!

I'll be selling my car very soon. I have to think of a catchy and good blurb about the car. What do you guys recommand i do? I know i should list the obvious stuff, like 5.7L LT1, mint shape....blah, blah. I'm going to take a look at auto trader and see how people write their ads. I want something to stand out! Thanks for any help.

Well, if you doing AutoTrader.com online, use multiple pics. Under the hood, interior, exterior from all 4 sides, and any documentation that it is a SS from SLP. The RPO codes would be enough for any enthusiast to make sure it's not a "SS clone".

Delete the OBO part, that just says "talk me down please" Also, you need them to see the car, that is mandatory. F-bods are beautiful cars (well, not compared to my sleek fox body *pun intended, as a former TA owner*).
