    3g On Ebay With Engine I Have Never Seen

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1988-...QQcmdZViewItem

    Check this car out. it is a rust bucket and it is going for cheap. The thing that caught my eye is the engine. What is that thing? Maybe they got mixed up and put the wrong pic or what? They transmission is even on a different side. Also, the engine pic was taken a day after all the other pics. What is going on?

    Take a look. I looked a little closer and it has to be a different car. Look at the hood prop. Completely different than ours.

    the date stamp on the engine pic doesn't match the rest of the car pics. just a mix up

    I emailed them and told them about the mix up and that they neede to change the pic. What about you posting it two months ago? Is the same person trying to sell it again with the same messed ups pics?

    It's some kind of late 80's early 90's Chrysler engine. Looks like a 4-banger Dodge Caravan.

    WE DO NOT HAVE KEYS FOR HER SO I CAN'T TELL YOU IF SHE RUNS AND DRIVES AT ALL,
    EVERYTHING I HAVE DESCRIBED IS FROM LOOKING OVER THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING IT A SHORT DISTANCE.
    Sooo, if he doesnt have keys to start it and doesnt know if it even runs or drives, how can he have driven it a short distance????

    Re: 3g On Ebay With Engine I Have Never Seen

    I read eBay ads about ten times before buying something lol. I've learned to pick out things like that in an eBay ad quickly!

    Yeah I figured it was just that they copy and paste or "sell similar item" option alot, but man, they need to proofread this stuff. You see this alot, makes me wonder about people sometimes....
