Hey Guys,

There's a car on Ebay which is listed as "1974 Porsche 914 LE"...but, per Jeff Bowlsby's registry, it's a tribute car.

The word "tribute" only appears once in the ad...with regard to the paint...as “Creamsicle Tribute” finish of Ivory with Orange accents.

The auction has 50 watchers. I hope that someone looking to buy an LE would also be familiar with the registry, but just in case not, I figured I'd post.

Here's the ebay link...

I reported the item, MANY people would not know the difference between this one and a real one. There is no area for detailed explanations of the report.

Just above the description section, to the upper right, is a REPORT ITEM link.
Then drop down choices for:
Report Category - Listing practices <<<suggested selection
Reason for Report - Vehicle Misrepresentation <<<suggested selection
Detailed Reason - Vehicle Misrepresentation <<<suggested selection

The Detailed Reason doesn't specifically fit ebay's given definition of "The listing misrepresents the vehicle's title or vehicle identification number (VIN), or it doesn't include a VIN" but perhaps if enough of us report this listing, it will get pulled or edited (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
