[DeTomaso] The Fake Pantera Lives????

[boyd casey]

The last time this car was on e-bay it was actually listed under the
Detomaso  and Pantera category. I don't think the current seller is claiming
the car is an authentic Detomaso. When the first seller listed it as a
Detomaso And I contacted him and several other people from the list
contacted him and we all told him his car was not a Detonaso Pantera and he
needed to modify his ad to reflect the actual nature of the car he was
attempting to sell. He ignored us and actually got quite rude and told us to
mind our own business. When I contacted E-bay they did absolutely nothing.
They didn't care and they made no effort  to modify or pull the listing. All
e-bay is interested in is collecting their fees. I was very surprised I
thought ebay would try to block fraudulent listings when they were pointed
out. I even got the California state police involved. Ebay didn't seem to
care.
