Another lying ahole

I'm doing my periodic 930 search between 1975 and 1979. Look at this crap.

1975 PORSCHE 930 TURBO
Sweet!
P/WINDOWS, LTHR
COOL RUNNING 2.7L MFI, 5 SPD.,
Huh? Wrong engine and wrong transmission. Sounds like a '75 with a whale tale stuck on the back some ahole's trying to pass off as a 930.

RED ON NICE BLACK INTERIOR, CD PLAYER, NEW TIRES, STRUTS, FUCHS RUNS EXCELLENT, $13, 000 OBO. +(CONYERS) 770-484-1923 OR 404-560-7594(770) 484-1923

Of course the price gives it away. Basically, this ad is a lie. No pictures or anything are given. There were a 'few' (not sure how many) 930s made in 1975 according to spec books I've seen, but I don't know how many actually made it to the states or even to showrooms anywhere.

Uhhh...maybe it's running on 5 cylinders, so he's adjusted the displacement accordingly and he's counting reverse as one of the gears in the transmission. :>)

I'm going to venture a guess that it's not MFI either.

Sure it is. MFI could mean Multi-port Fuel Injection (that's GM speak, I think) in his mind?

It's always fun to go haggle on a car that someone thinks they know more about than yourself. There's always that transition of power you feel & see. The once chatty and BS'y seller suddenly becomes less talkative when you continue refute most of his statements/misinformation about the car.

Sure there were 930's in '75, but they were still 3.0L.

That's not fair calling him an Ahole, what if he's a nice guy and just an idiot?
