    No different then the '79 329 for sale. And it's not a typo- they say '79 more then once.

    I see reverse also counts as a speed as they show it as a 6 spd.

    It's bad enough that this dealer is such a bonehead that he doesn't even know what he's selling, but the idea that anyone would buy a car from the guy amazes me.

    1. If you think you are buying a 328, you are so clueless about the marque that you shouldn't be buying one yet.

    2. If you know you are actually getting a 2 valve injected 308, why would you buy it from someone that knows so little about the cars that he thinks it's a 328? Do you think he can tell you when the cam belts were last serviced?

    I sent a email to the seller pointing out the problems with the ad. I received a reply thanking me for the history lesson and asking if I wanted to purchase the car. I explained that I would have a problem buying a car from someone who could not represent the correct model as I could not trust that he could properly represent the service history. I'll let you guys know if I get a response

    Yes there are...........

    I contacted Ebay to pull it, since the seller hasn't done the right thing after being contacted by at least four members.

    I see the ad is still "AS IS". That is to say the misinformation hasn't be changed. I think that says everthing one needs to know about both the seller and Ebay!!!!

    The seller contacted me saying thank and will change it. He has emailed others on the board with the same message. I have contacted Ebay. Both appear to have done nothing. It even looks like some shill bidding is going on. Ebay better clean up this type of mess or their rep is going to go down the tubes.

    Now if someone wanted to teach this guy. They would send the bidding through the roof and leave a feedback explaination.

    I received a not so friendly reply from Kessler after I very politely addressed the taillights. Sounds like they're a bit frustrated over it not selling....

    Notice the rear bonnet does not close properly,
    the driver side is bent up while the passenger aside is down.
