file a dispute if you unhappy you might have to end up eating the cost of the shipping though

the vin shouldnt have been cut out, if the vins are tampered with i wouldnt want it. sorry to here you got the short end of the stick

 

Yeah, Id say that's misrepresenting. I am NOT a lawyer though.

I think it might be worth eating the return shipping costs to get a refund if you decide to. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses. I would figure out what is up with the frame / title before dealing with the missing parts. You have to make that call.

Good luck.

 

Your VIN may be under the pasenger side fender too. Undo the bolts along the top of the fender, and gently pull it back and look for another VIN stamp.

It could be located in up to 4 locations – Drivers side towards front, under/near notched area of fender and back near the hood hinge area on drivers side. The same goes for the passenger side.

Legally, you can’t change VIN’s from another car. That's something I wouldn't want to mess with at all. If I were to do that, I'd make sure I owned (title too) the junk it came from then cut it up and scrap it after.

VIN's have been on cars for many years befors the Mustang came out. In 1968, Ford started putting VIN tags on Mustangs on the dash and visible through the windshield. For 1965-1967, VIN's were on the inner fenders, and door data plates.

 

You should have gotten one of us that was near it to go check it out before you guys bidded on it. But most of us never think about that.

 

I'd say it was misrepresented by the ad. BUT he may be able to say that in HIS opinion the frame rails looked very good; I know this isn't the case, but when people use terminoligy like "good" it's up for interpretation, what is considered "very good" to one person may be considered crappy to another (as is the case here). I'm no lawyer though, far from it, but it's at least worth a try to get him to pay for the frame rails.

 

this guy sounds like a real asshat.

 

What you need to do is get yourself a PDF printer software, like this one:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/
Free BTW.

Print the ad to a PDF for long term storage.

 

You always know just what to say lol...

 

hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm..........hey doesn't ebay offer a coverage thingy for this kind of thingy? just tel them that he misrepresented the car and that his ad was false!!!!!! they SHOULD handle the rest but i'm not sure , never been in this situation myself.

 

Ctrl+alt+print screen --- then go to MS Paint. Then go to edit paste.

That takes a screen capture. Might be helpful
