He says "425 2v" in in what I agree is a rather jumbled, poorly punctuated posting. But the information is there if you dig for it.

On the other hand, I'm not sure what "single exg. power steering" means. I have no idea what an "exg." is. As far as I know, power steering is power steering. It doesn't normally come with a "single" or "double" anything.

Unless "single exg." and power steering are two separate things and he just ran them together in his sentence, which he has actually done all through the message. But that doesn't help, because I still don't know what an "exg" is.

I'm thinking it might be an abbreviation for "single exhaust," but then there is no g in the word exhaust, so I'm still stumped.

It's a very nice looking car, and it's great to have a photo, but the description is no easier to read. You might want to clean that up if you hope to get anyone to not go bleary-eyed trying to decipher what you wrote.

Hardly. That site has no information on the car other than what he posted (and has now deleted) here. Looks like it was a cut and paste job from one site to the other.

There is also one (and only one) photo. A guy wanting $13,000 for a car ought to have a couple of dozen photos at least showing every angle from above, top up as well as down if it's a convertible, underneath, engine, and trunk.

This is 2012, not 1812. The cost of photography is zero except for the camera, and there's one of those on practically every cell phone.

I see you are marketing a few nice Oldsmobiles on the site...its a tough market for selling anything for serious cash right now, for sure. Best of luck nevertheless.

FYI, though your other ads seem to provide a phone contact via the hyperlinks, this one does not.
