CL ads! Funny, ridiculous, awesome... post them here!

I have been shopping for a truck or SUV for about a month now and I see so many Craigslist ads that just leave me shaking me head.  I know many of you also search CL daily so if you find an ad that makes you laugh or irritates you because it's full of BS, post it here.  Here are a couple I have come across recently to start it off.

Deal of a lifetime... for a beat up 77 Malibu sitting on flat tires?  Maybe a deal of a lifetime for the seller of somebody buys it from him.


One of a kind body style "Camero"  I am pretty sure I have seen a few other third gen Camaros around.

Something else that I see on CL and in person and really bothers me.  Fake Cobras.  Why, why, WHY do so many Mustang people insist on making Cobra clones?  I see them all the time and the worst part is they NEVER even get it right.  They always forget one of the Cobra items like hoods or bumpers.  Sometimes they even have single exhaust. 

I understand wanting to modify your car but why call it something its not and will never be even if put every single part on it?  It's ok to have a regular Mustang, GT, Mach 1, etc.

Here are a couple of examples.

I would guess for the same reason people put Turbo Coupe hoods on regular birds and cats or TC header panels as well .
 
 Personally , I dont have a problem with the "cobra"  modifications unless they are trying to pass it off as something its not for financial gain.

I personally have a TC hood on my regular Cat because it makes my intercooler functional.  Even though I swapped in a turbo engine, and everything related, my car does not have XR7 emblems.  The Cobra Fakers would have put on XR7 emblems first even with 14" hubcaps and a V6 underhood.  It's that kind of thing that irritates me.  Slapping Cobra emblems on a regular Mustang doesn't fool the people who a real Cobra would impress.  It just makes the owners look silly.

 I get where you are coming from 100% ..it's the "trying to fool people" part I dislike too ... but I try not to question people's taste , I know I have done some stuff that other people have not liked but I thought was cool  (trunk lock cover on my bird for instance )..... I was actually having a conversation with my brother the other day a Shelby Mustang clones and I told him I would love to have  a 67 or 68  because I love the way they look but I would never use Shelby badges or stripes that said GT350 or 500 .
