Interesting, very interesting, but scary.
I am not doubting that it was a CS.
I say "was".
It was born a Mustang coupe, factory converted to a GT/CS, and, now has been unconverted. Full circle.
Anything put out for sale on a web site is going to be critiqued by all related forums. It is a fact of life and happens on every single forum that I am a member.
I am against the 'don't ask, don't tell', politically correctness of our times.
Bauble_gal, I wish you luck with your auction.
To answer both of your questions, doubtful to both.
I agree in that we should critique every CS that goes up for sale, however we should do so with some dignity and respect the fact that the seller may not know anything about the car, if we approach it as trying to help not only the consumer but the seller as well we will gain a lot of respect as the authority on CS's and HCS's. If we jump in and ridicule someone's car they instantly take the defensive, rightfully so regardless of what they know or don't know. If we critique it respectfully those trying to pass off something that they know is not true will expose themselves, we will help but they will expose themselves.
I honestly believe we can have a huge impact on the selling of a CS, in fact I know that we have in the past, both positive and some negative. I think Rob said it best recently and I don't have his exact words but we should approach every inconsistency with an unknown outcome, anything is possible and we have already identified that they did some pretty strange things in making these cars. We should point out those inconsistencies in a positive way and let both the consumer and seller make their own mind up and try and get to the bottom of them so we learn along the way as well.
Again just my opinion. Thanks for listening, Cory
