Worst E-Bay picture ever! - Is it a Beetle...or UFO?

« on: December 22, 2001, 11:19:26 AM »
This has got to be the worst e-bay picture for a Beetle for sale ever taken...

My theory is that it is a picture taken in Roswell, NM by an amatuer UFO junkie.  Note how the Beetle (if that is what it is) sits among the treetops.  :alien:

Someone call X-Files!

These other photos are simply stunning, note the finger in the upper right corner and how the fender is separated from the body. These must be its biggest selling points.

Actually, the "finger" is trying to point out that 1968-70 Beetle Convertible sitting in the weeds behind the yellow one.

The untrained eBayer's eye sees this:



but after you've got a couple of years of eBay under your belt you see this:

"Moving, must sell."

I just got an email back from her.  That is a 1968 convertible behind the 69, but it's already sold.

Yeah, but without even poking around her web site, Travis pretty much had it figured out.  This is Luna Faye:

I'll bet she has seen a UFO or two in her day!   :D
