Things like this **** me off, I got no problem with someone trying to improve the looks of their monte, but please don't pretend your car is something that it isn't. I hope someone doesn't buy this under the intention that its one of the legit pace cars when it clearly isn't.
Did you reported him to Ebay? If you haven't, file a report with them explaining the the misleading add. I just did and the more people report him the sooner the add will be taken down by Ebay and take measures in the future so the moron can't do it again.

reported, also he says low mileage and the odometer clearly shows 47536 miles yet the autocheck on the page says last known mileage as 98198 miles reported Dec-30-2008.

With the misleading ad, and the milage problems, sounds like a scam to me! That is the problem with buying a car on Ebay, i'd have a hard time buy something as big as a car sight un-seen.

Default fake pace car.........

Why not have "moron" come up with some paper work ?
That decal on the rear bumber cover looks Soooooo Cheesy
and it is a insult to the real deal. Reminds me of something that
you get at Auto-Zone.. right where the bowtie key guards are and
the fuzzy steering wheel covers are....I'll shut up.

Excuse my signature ? I have been having trouble with it. Lou is helping me
with it. It's getting there.

This is exactly why GM made certificates of authenticity.

With the help of the internet, it's very easy to make fake collectable cars. Some scammers even go to the degree of purchasing some of the parts from real versions that were stolen and stripped.

It should also be on the sticker with all the service parts identification list of options.

HOPE I DON'T GET IN ANY TROUBLE???????????



Nice car. The members of Monte Carlo Forum were discussing your car. We were wondering where the missing Pace car parts were? Do you still own them? So they could return the car to it's original glory? Thanks.
