[DeTomaso] Another E-bay scam...

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Dick,

I love you man, but if this is true, he needs to re-think his listing.  
  If he is that knowledgeable he needs to point out if the car is an L  
or pre-L and not let his vague descriptions try to communicate that.   
He also needs to be forthcoming with the VIN.  It's BS that he doesn't  
provide it.  All Panteras have a VIN, including the one hes listed.   
Has it been removed?  Why?  It should be stamped on the footbox, so if  
it's not there, why isn't it there?  he should know this.

Honestly,the listing looks like it was written by a 16 year old, not  
someone who used to import and knows Panteras.


Just my two cents,
Asa Jay
