Seller is making up a Shelby application that never existed. Please don't buy into this BS. I have gotten tired of messaging this seller to try and inform him. Some here already know who this is. He apparently knows better than the rest of the Shelby world. https://www.ebay.com/itm/168523624649?

If you view the "item specifics" for the seller's auctions you will see just why so many unrelated items show up in your eBay searches.  Those specifics are totally unrelated to the item being sold but are used to "corrupt" ones searches in hopes that it might lead to a sale.  It's pathetic!  Just my 2 cents.

eBay searches have become useless because of people like him. You used to be able to search "Title Only", but I don't see that option anymore.

I know who he is and He should know better.  Looks like the shock tower brace on my '65 Fairlane wagon.

He must have had one hell of a big lunch pail to fit that in it. I used to carry my work clothes and lunch and stuff in a large garbage bag which I would throw over my shoulder.And when I started leaving work like that, the guards wanted to check my bag for a while.And when they quit checking, then I slipped a few items out of where I worked.

If it starts it's streetable.
Overkill is just enough.

In ebay advanced search, can exclude a seller ID.  Not useful for casual searches, but any saved searches, works well.

Thanks Charles.  I've tried that, but unfortunately, he's not the only one. There's a bunch of them that do the same thing.

I tried searching for a 65 mustang door latch and there were over 7,000 items.  I cut it down to under 1,000 items by checking Ford only. Still a lot of crap before I found an original and it was overpriced junk.  Thankfully, I figured out what was wrong with my original.

Yeah, eBay does some weird stuff like that now... if I was searching for '1965 Ford mustang door latch', I would also have to do something like '-(chevrolet, buick, dodge)' and that would cut it down quite a bit.
