Default Re: eBay '66 L78 El'Camino

I think the key is to represent a car as it really is. If the wordsmithing of an ad makes the prospective buyer think it is something that it is not, that is misrepresentation, or at the least a misunderstanding.

Unfortunately, in todays world of higher values and greed, the buyer needs to be very savy to avoid misrepresentation.

I think the El Camino is a neat car, just worth less money with with a stamper block, etc.

My definition of "numbers matching" is that the car has it's born with components. If it doesn't, the buyer should state numbers matching restoration (or replacement) motor.

Just my $ .02.
