The ad for the Impala is now live.
Ad number - ADID:12713080:950194589

Opening line:

I am in the autumn off my years and after 44 years of ownership its time for a new owner
If your not into details go on to the next ad otherwise continue reading a fascinating 44 year history lesson on my cruiser
Wont need a trailer for this Canadian Classic cruiser. General Motors decided to celebrate Canada's 100^th birthday by producing one year only model line in the Impala.
Available as 2 door hardtop, 4 door sedan or a coupe with a convertible finishing out the line up. Engine options varied.
1968 was completely different body trim and panel

What are your thoughts on my opening line.....

Its a car ad not a love story or history lesson. I'd say rethink this.

Canadian Poncho · A Poncho Legend!

I agree. I get frustrated with ads giving a history of the brand.

Not so much....He gives it right off the bat. If your not into details,move on. I've read adds that I would have not known how rare/unique a car is, So I became educated while reading. I tend to look at the adds that are more in depth. Not... here it is come and get it. There are in depth adds that go on..and on. But there are also in depth adds that give you a feel for the car and it's history. To me...Every true gear head want's to know all they can about a vehicle,,except the back seat part....... Cliff..at the end of the day..wright what feels good for you. The only one that needs to be happy is you. Feed back is feed back..but you know what's in your heart to say. It's your car not our's. Anyone can sell someone else's car.......

A. Correct your spelling mistakes.
B. I'd say it's unlikely GM decided to celebrate Canada's 100th birthday by producing one year only model line in Impala. The car would have been designed in the USA.

Where is the car listed? eBay, Kijiji, etc?

I've auctioned off $27,000.00 (take home) in the last 3 years. It's my little tax-free hobby.
Are you using ebay?

No, a local internet auction site.

They take the pictures, list the item(s), take payment and provide/deliver the item(s) to the purchaser for 25%. All I do is drop off the items for sale to them.
