Yeah, I think you're right. Upon closer reading of the VERY carefully worded
text and seeing all those small early-westy differences others have pointed
out, I suspect the same. There's obvious weasel-work going on there. Very
tricksy these nassssssty bagginses are. Probably part of the reason he's got
no bids. Not to say it won't sell (what with it being priced way over the
$6000 it's worth), but one has to wonder if it might've done better if he'd
come right out and said it was a good-condition 87 with a lot of 91
upgrades...
