My Dino has been for sale on Ebay not once but twice, both time they
used the pictures from my web site with MY Dino sitting on MY front
lawn. One guy claimed the car was on the E. Coast and the other claimed
it was in Italy clearly visible with my Calif. license on it. My Singer
was also listed on Ebay once but at least that guy was honest, he only
used the pictures and stated it was not the car for sale, just what his
car would look like after spending a fortune on his parts.
