Craig,

I am sure you have noticed we list our cars as 1964, 65 etc. This is the ONLY choice ebay will let us have. If you list the car as a 2003, it is impossible to put in our vin number. They must have a list of the currently registered federal vin numbers. Of course, ours doesn't match so they will not let us list it as a 2003. If you list it as a 1965, they will let you list whatever vin number you want.

We have contaced ebay repeatedly about the problem. We really like ebay so we are not complaining. I am sure they are a really big company with more to do than listen to us.

Obviously, we are not trying to decieve anyone as our ad says the car was made in Poland, new, just like the one's we sell to Shelby, (specifically NOT to confuse our car with a Shelby), etc. Any suggestions?

As for people listing their car as a Shelby/whatever,...

I think people should list their cars as what they are. Nevertheless, many kit cars have been listed as a "Shelby Replica" for decades in the for sale columns. The problem is not new.
