Someone probably reported it to eBay. They have been cracking down on these types of auctions lately.

To elaborate on what Mike said, eBay is removing listings on cars that have emergency equipment installed. They do not want to fascilitate an imposter who is looking for a car to use to pull over unsuspecting drivers (yet eBay allow ads for emergency lighting where anyone could create their own "emergency vehicle"). Obviously, these SSP Mustangs are collector vehicles as opposed to late-model Crown Vics, but those are the rules eBay chooses to enforce. I have seen some listings where the seller will black out the lights with Photoshop/MS_Paint and leave the car visible. I guess the situation on eBay serves as a reminder that these cars are illegal to operate on the street (rare exceptions exist for certain states in terms of antique police cars, but y'all understand what I'm saying).

I think your premise is true in terms of what eBay is "trying to police", but they have a long way to go in terms of consistently applying the practice (as you also seem to suggest). They way to apply their practice, just creates a lot of confusion in the implementation. If applied consistently, I think it can make alot of sense, but if it's going to be haphazardly applied I don't see the point. They should hire "Peggy" and put her (him) to work on it.
