Gotta love this- eBay seller delusional!

["John W Rosa" <JohnRosa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So I'm poking around eBay and this 78 AMX is listed.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4538711136

The car is 'talked up' in the usual dealership BS way,
so I decide to inform them of a few details that are 
missing/wrong or need attention. But the real fun is 
at the end of their response to my note. Enjoy (and
don't have any cola in your mouth as you near the end).

Auction says:
"1978 AMC (American Motors Corporation) AMX. This is 
an extremely unique automobile! The original owner sold 
this car to the second buyer in 2001, and I purchased 
the car from him just recently. I have ALL the original 
documentation to this car including the original owners 
manual, build sheets and purchase order. This information 
comes directly off of the bill of lading. The car 
originally sold in Watertown, South Dakota. It was ordered 
with the following equipment and options: AMX 2-DR. 
Hatchback, 304 CID, V-8 2-Barrel, Automatic Trans Floor 
Shift, P1/00 Classic Black w/Gold Rally Stripes & Color 
Keyed Wheels-4, Bucket Seats and Vinyl Trim, DR78X14-8 
Raised Wht-Ltr Radial22, 2.87 Axle Ratio, Air Conditioning 
Package, Air Conditioning System, Tinted Glass, Power 
Steering, Power Disc Brakes-Front, AM Push-Button Radio, 
and an Engine Block Heater. All of which is intact! The 
overall condition of this car is great! There is very little 
rust. The floor pans are solid, as is the trunk pan and 
engine compartment. The frame rails are also solid. Dash 
has no cracks. Heater works properly as do the windsheild 
wipers. All lights are in working order including the side 
marker lights. This car is ramrod straight. Its a joy to 
drive and very tight. Buyer satisfaction is guaranteed. 
This car turns heads everywhere it goes, and has NEVER been 
damaged! It's a nostalgia buff's dream. A $500.00 deposit/

UNLESS YOU ARE SERIOUS!"


I said:
"Hi, Just a few observations from the photos- stuff you 
might wish to pass along to bidders in the interest of 
'full disclosure'. The car is missing it's original 
flares and front air dam. The amber lights on the front 
bumper, the stereo and the column-mounted tach are 
obvious add-ons, the grille's AMX emblem should be black 
with chrome trim, not red/white/blue, and should be 
mounted at the center of the grille. Still, tho- the car 
looks like a very easy project, especially with so little 
needed inside. I wish I had the room for yet another AMC 
toy!"


They responded:
"Thanks for all your information. I failed to mention the 
car comes with the original flares, front spoiler and also 
the rear window louver. As you mentioned the add ons are 
obvious! Couldn't say for sure about the emblem. Thanks 
again, by the way I would be willing to sell it for 
$10,000.00"


Have a nice day, all!
