Default Whats your take on this ad?

Found this on ebay today:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevrolet...bayphotohosting

His wording is rather interesting. Almost like he is trying to make you think it is a Baldwin Motion, but not really. He references it in the description, but never really says it is one. Tells you how great the BM is, but again never says it is one. then towards the end says it may be a clone. New trend in advertising? What do you think?

"I do not have the build sheet or the sales slip, therefore this may be a clone but a good one"

RS, SS, Z-28, L-88.........
I'm surprised it's not a retractable hardtop.

The L-88 is a monster Z-28 engine with the 12 to 1 compression, large valves, solid camshaft, etc. Both engines are for racing, but again 290 HP compared to 435 ( again actual 560) is a big difference. This is quicker than any Z-28…..



Now there is a comparison!!

I think these ads are becoming more confusing(slick) to read than filling out your yearly tax forms......Think H&R Block translates e-bay car ads ..........??

Any of the headlite vacuum hoses or even the headlite washer system hooked up? Maybe a fake RS?

Maybe Alec Baldwin owned it & then sold it to Jon Voight.
