For my fellow grammar, spelling, and punctuation *****... ... I present the following gem:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1969-...item35b2037963
Notice the following:
1) The photos attached to the auction are for the wrong car.
2) The pictures linked in the description are all repeated.
3) Half the text is repeated.
4) One photo shows him adjusting his mirror.
5) Another photo has the handle to roll the driver's window up/down in the floor of the car.
6) For the mathematically inclined, 804 and 616-0621 are not equal.
7) Apparently, whenever you pluralize a word, an apostrophy is required.
8) A gear ratio of 3.08:1 can be expressed as "3'08".
9) Countless other things that need not be mentioned.
Aaaahhhh.... that was cathartic.

I'll take these two to comment on.
"this car has been baybed and pampered from day one"
"whit plenty of meat on tiers"
I guess baybed could be pronounced babied.
The meat on the tiers may explain the rust.

I can't believe people still don't put an H or X pipe on duals. Plus one collector is welded while the other is flanged.
Makes me wonder what other half-*** fixes have been done.

The whole one flanged one welded thing would bug me, too, though.

Meat on the tiers eh? Maybe he is saying the car spent time on a tier of a meat market. There could be fish below it, meaning by the sea. Would explain the rust...
