Edit: OK I read your ad. It's extremely borderline behavior.
I want everyone to be aware that THOSE pictures in his ad are for ILLUSTRATION purposes ONLY. They are NOT pictures the same car he is selling.
The mileage difference is over 100k between the two.
I will allow this ad to continue.

Ditto. and the picture was lifted off of the Hank Huisman site of www.ascmclaren.com
Oddly, this is the the same car that was involved (picture-wise) in the Nigerian scam several months ago, and in the scam from England about 5-7 months prior. This car lives in New York !!! _________________ Sandy passed away in 2012. He will be forever missed.

Sorry about that. I didn't have a picture of the car handy when I made the ad and found one that looked the same. I'll try to get a picture taken this weekend and update the ad. |

Please let us know when you do. We want the car to go to a good home but selling a car by using somebody else's pictures is really a "no-no".

Right. That's why I kind of freaked when I saw the pictures in his ad.

By the way, the advertisement specifically said that the picture was not of the actual car and gives a link to the ASCMcLaren web site. Like I said before, I'll try to get some pictures this weekend. Sorry to cause any problems.

I felt pretty guilty toward the end of the day yesterday, so I left work early to get some pictures taken before it got dark. I had trouble uploading them to Yahoo, but removed the pictures that were there.
I was able to upload the pictures to this web site.

Again, sorry about yesterday's post.

You have plenty of space in your personal album on this very site too.
Everyone when they register gets album space.

BTW nice looking car.
If I were you I'd hurry and swap those pictures in your other ad and change your description. These pictures look just about as good and are legit!

Oh 'ya, it looks real nice, Howard! How long have you owned it for? 1987s interest me because of the rear mounted antenna. Can you "see" on the front right fender any signs of any body filler used to fill any pre-made fender hole for the stock Mustang antenna? So many many conflicting stories regading HOW the cars (1987s) were received by ascMcLaren FROM FoMoCo. Some say Ford supploed the cars with NO hole front fenders - while others tell that the holes were there, but ascMcLaren filled (leaded) them in, and placed the antenna in the oppiside rear quarter panel. Still a few have turned up with a power antenna in the rear (where yours is). The antennas caused ALOT of confusion in the early 1987 build. Can you shed any insight ?? _________________ Sandy passed away in 2012. He will be forever missed.

I've had the car for about 12 years. Unfortunately, I can't shed much light on the antenna issue other than to say I don't see any indication (from the outside anyway) that there was an antenna hole on the front right fender.

The car looks very nice, and in particular when one considers the number of miles. I hope that you can find the right buyer.[/u] _________________ Robert
