Damn funny Craigslist ad!

[detmatt]

I live on Rt. 82 in Garrettsville and was mowing my yard when a blue Dodge Dart went by VERY fast. Next thing I saw was a Mustang following it with no doors. This seemed strange but I continued to mow. As I got closer to the road I saw two large black pieces of metal in my ditch. If you are a Mustang owner who was racing a Dodge on Rt. 82 yesterday I have your doors. Please email me or come back, I don't want my friends seeing me with these.

That's by far the best ad I've ever seen, better yet it was legible.

it had to have been a manta, but I don't remember it being cool at all. I don't remember a spoiler lip at the trunk, I thought it was flat. but I was like 4 - 5 yrs old... it was orange with black interior, I remember the dots on the vinyl seats, and it was a manual, and it had a lightning bolt thru an O looking thing for the logo . . . not much else from a 5yr old in the back seat

You're right they did not come with a spoiler from the factory. They sold them through the Buick dealerships.
Over here they were practically something like a Camaro in the US.
