The ad for the Porsche Tatra is actually for a Tatra. The seller says that Porsche actually got some of his ideas from the Tatra designer (hmmm?) and that is why he has Porsche in the title.

As I recall, the original pre-WW2 Tatra's used air cooled V-8's hanging out over the back end. The Czech's bragged that these cars killed more German officers than the resistance because of the swing axles and oversteer.

As I recall (and I'm feeling a little too lazy to really look it up), Porsche and/or his firm did some design work for Tatra somewhere along the way. The rear-engined, air-cooled V8 cars are pretty cool, if you can find one. They show up at high-end car shows now and then. I think I recall seeing one at meadowbrook a few years ago. One way or another, I think the seller is trying to get some added attention by invoking the "Porsche" name, but it's a pretty tenuous link.
