Default Dodgy ebay add XB GT

Saw this add on ebay. Its advertised as an XB GT.
It does not say anywhere in the add that its a replica or look-a-like.
But it clearly is once you read the vin number which starts with JG 34.
I think most people who know GT's would pick this, but some might not.
Just think its a little bit deceiving. Ive emailed the guy but no response as yet.

I thought that JG34 was a Fairmont prefix, I wonder if it's a typo....

In 2 seperate areas of the add he has written JG 34... no typo ! hes just conveniently forgotten to state that its a look a like.

thats odd, ive seen that on ebay for the last 6 months, at least, but its always been listed as a replica, but ive never seen THAT ebay ad?

the caryard is just up the road from my place, if the owner is the young guy that owns the yard he seems pretty decent. as far as used car salesman go anyway lol.
