eBay Questions

I have a '67 Ford Cortina on eBay right now.
One person asked if it has A/C,or ABS.
Where do these people come from?

Walmart?

Maybe they haven't been on this world long enough to know a time where ABS didn't exist.

But Walmart is a good guess. Combine the two and LOOK OUT!

Tell 'em it has "4-60 A/C"

and to ask their Momma or Daddy (maybe even Grand- ) for an explanation....

You could even mention the innovative hydralic brakes, better than ABS with all the sophisticated stuff that could go wrong and be ultra-expensive to fix....

Tell them no AC but it is DC.

Tell them to search under "Toyota"

Doug;

I agree with James, tell them it has 4-60 A/C, and it has manual ABS
(you gotta pump the brakes).

And, if they're Canadian, they come from Dollarama!

P.S. Patience, someone with a brain will find you sooner or later.

This is not just an Ebay problem. Many years back I was selling a running 65 LeMans for 75 bucks just to get it out of my parking lot. I had people calling and wanting to know if it would pass inspection. sigh.

Let them know if you get your asking price you will install the Hemi for them.

Shucks, I remember when ABS was just the latest miracle thermoplastic!

 

[GregW]

I'll pass the obvious ribbing and just say thanks for the link. I liked the last sentence there...

ABS is flammable when it is exposed to high temperatures, such as a wood fire. It will "boil", then burst spectacularly into intense, hot flames.

I wonder if you can get different colored flames. Remember those cans of stuff you could sprinkle on the wood fire that would change the flame color?

My dad use to burn the radio son batteries when I was a kid. Now that was a purdy fire.

 

[GregW]

Good for the lungs too I'm sure. Not that the ABS would be any better.
