    I dont think i've ever seen more written in an auction about a car.

    It's a pretty car, that's for sure.

    Not that I have the coin, but were I to buy it those GT500 stripes have GOT to go. There's nothing Shelby on that whole car.

    This is what a '70 Shelby looks like:

    On top of that, it would be a GT-350 anyway. Small block = GT350, Big Block = GT500. I mean, I guess with a 335-series block maybe it splits the difference, but I don't think GT-425 really rolls off the tongue.

    That description is horrid. It's a decently done Mustang, but it looks nothing like a 70 Shelby (or a 67 really for that matter) and it's certainly no "GT500" with that 351 Cleveland small block.

    from the Q&A

    Q: Very beautiful car. But you have to get the award for longest eBay ad ever. Sep-20-11 A: Hi. When you have a lot of restoration items & procedures to list the the text ends up longer. Just thought the potential new owner would want to know what was done to this car. My apologies, I tried to have enough pictures along the way to make it interesting. Art R

    Someone should tell the seller that a spastic finger operating the shift button does not sell cars.

    He should use smaller text and less carriage returns, and then it would be perfect.

    "PLEASE, READ THIS AUCTION IN IT's Entirety BEFORE BIDDING...Thank you " Bid history: 24 bids

    Either there are 24 people with way more patience at reading Ebay ads than me or they are not too good at following instructions.
