A locked thread just means you can't post a reply. The seller did leave a phone number......Make the call.....

I believe the theory is that it is a place to post cars for sale and often times the thread will get hijacked and end up off on a tangent that has nothing to do with the sale of the car, like perhaps a debate about which carb would be better on the car or how you could add a 4-link to it for not a whole bunch more etc.

The moderators can provide a little more insight than I can; but, I'm pretty sure that's the reason.

yup firechicken is probablly right , mustang flys solo mostly and its a lot to keep up with just dealing with the forum and the classifieds..

Dutch,

You pretty much hit it on the head. Guidelines are posted here:

Instead of having to remove or move posts from the for sale section over, and over, and over, and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over,and over, (are you getting the drift)
I've just locked them down. People who are interested in more information can email or PM the sellers directly instead of the seller having his thread hijacked. If a discussion is warranted on the ad, then an appropriate thread can be started in the other areas of this forum which allow discussions in them. A link to the for sale post (so others know what you are talking about) in the new thread could (should) be provided for clarification......You just cannot imagine the amount of emails/PM's I get from sellers complaining about posts on their for sale thread that are really off topic........
