Sad thing is, if they did actually enforce the law and start handing out some tickets, some word of mouth outrage would probably see a general habit change in a reasonably short time.

Agreed, it would make my day to this enforced.

the guy is a knobhead.
you should report him.
ads for these cars have been pulled for as little as stating "Rolls Royce grill" when infact it isnt actually a Rolls Royce grill.

Q: Could you please tell me me what makes this a USA town car? the chassis numbers tell me it was made in aus.
A: Hi there, as it was explained to me this is a LTD town car. Only released in burgundy with a camel vynel roof and made in the USA. As you see the roof has been stripped and painted. Apparantly only the LTD's from the states have the fibreglass front cones. I have tried to verify this but can't find anything produced here that was released with the glass cone. I spoke to Shannons insurance and they were aware of the car as soon as I told them the model. This is why on the auction I ask people to investigate the model before bidding because this is a rare car but no one seems to be able to track it's origin. This is a real Dark Horse but if Shannons are willing to insure it for 16K sight unseen she definetely isn't your standard LTD. Best Regards ilpadrino69

the current price hasnt met the reserve.
if you actually read some of it, it suggests that Shannons would insure it for 16k sight unseen.
this suggests that he has a very high reserve, a lot more than its actually worth.
cant say much for the slap on paint job either.

This guy is often selling Ford parts. He may do other bits too but I often see his listings when searching for parts for my XC.

I got some XC panelvan doors off him ages ago, his feed back has greatly increased since then. I did have a little trouble with him, The money went into his Mrs bank account and he started a non paying bidders dispute against me. It took a few days... But he soon ate his words and withdrew, like a good boy.

funny that he sells ford things yet he knows (or pretends to) nothing about them. he's saying that his P6 was built in the US. i feel sorry for the guy that actually believes him and puts a bid on it thinking it's a 16k cruiser.
