Seems to be a very good deal?

Wondering if this is a real ad ? Seems like it could be a scam too?

Seems like a scam. You can find the same car here listed as "Sold"!

the mods should do something about this. it's too easy for scammers to post FS ads. At least set a minimum post count before you can post in the Classifieds.

So, how to get LEO's involved if it is a scam, before someone gets burned.

[Rick Brooklyn]

Someone already got burned. There have been a few threads in the technical forum. Some Romanian guy is on the list of the FBI most wanted.

"Shreddy" = "Shady" ? Think that was the give-away?

Almost anytime a very nice car is listed for sale under market by someone with a very low post count, it's scam.

This fine fellow fabricated a fake California title and a fake PPI as I strung him along, I new it was a fake ad as soon as I saw the real car was advertised in Europe.

Here's a copy of the title he sent me. I'm still working on the PPI.

An obvious fake - they peel an address label off a magazine and make a color copy- call teh California DMV to see if it's legit.

May I ask how it's obvious that it's fake?

One thing that stands out is the listed lic plate #4EE9478. That would be for a trailer, not found on a passenger car...

"Milage"?

Please.

We are all grown-ups, why do we need to be babysitted? What if a genuine seller (with low post count) wanted to sell a super nice car? The rest of us would lose out only to protect a few clueless buyers?
Besides, it's real easy to increase post count anyway.

Body type CP instead of 2D and Class MA. This car didn't sell for more than $96K. Back then new turbos were mid to high $30s.

[Arbee]

Body type CP is correct for Ca. 911s.
All 1980 Turbos were gray market and they were not mid to high $30s in 1980.

High 30's plus shipping and conversion put them in mid 50's to the retail buyers.

The dollar was very weak against the Deutsche Mark in 1980. Mid 50's is about right.
