I'd rather start with something like this; 510 wagons don't have the IRS:

510 datsun trade 4 manx or baja bug

That's my thought.

Either the seller is trying to appear uneducated because they think it will attract attention to their car, or because it lends itself to the idea that he doesn't know what he has. I noted that he said it ran up until recently. I wonder if this car will turn into a nightmare for the new owner, the seller realizes this, but is trying to appear uneducated so as to lower the expectations surrounding disclosure and create plausible deniability of mechanical flaws.

Dastun's are HUGE in the Latin community. I'm guessing this is not a hillbilly. You guys should check out the classified section of tamparacing.com for some good examples of the worst advertising/grammar on the net. I advertise imports over there and some of the post and pm's I cannot even understand. Its awesome!
