[????] - if i shoukd waste my time on all of these with spelling errors and
poor english.a gentlman from quebec did the same thing to me from the auto
trader.poor english and spelling errors but he was legit when i sold him my
79 cordoba 300.any ideas on what other members do to weed out the scammers?

For the gentleman from Quebec, his communication to you would probably have
been perfect had he written to you in French.   The majority of Quebecois
speak French, and a minority speak French only - no English.   Which is why
his grammar may have appeared strange as well.   Many times I found people
who are not fluent in English translate literally from their native tongue.
Thus adverbs, adjectives and objects appear incorrectly, at least to those
fluent in English.

Ah, you know it was a product of the 70s when gold/brown was a special
colour.  Although I have to admit, it is pretty "special."

Who has a car of a similar colour.   As a friend of mine said, "It's like
being stuck in a giant carrot cake!"

Hello all,
Just browsing on eBay, I saw this ad say ''1974 Chrysler parts car", which
happens to be the very rare 1974 Imperial LeBaron Crown coupe!!!! I informed
the seller as he is probably not aware of what he's selling.
The car is damaged quite badly but I think it could be restored.. The
enigine is running he states...The car is the golden fawn, which was a
special color and only color to be available on the crown coupe package
which was introduced in the spring of '74. (you probably know this)
here's the link
