Speedster scam?

I did the ol quick scan (but not thorough) so aplogies if this listing has been posted already.

But I am tempted to clear out my stocks to buy this as it is my grail:

1989 Porsche 911 Speedster 1 owner 993 964 turbo

But I smell S.C.A.M.

1. Mispelling
2. Contact is "Dr Anton" Just phishy.
3. Rear fender fins...unless this was a factory option I dont know about.

Oh well. I can dream.

Google the phone number.
The poster has been on here since 2012 - here's an example

His email gives this:

So if it's a scam he isn't too bright. Or he's inside and his identity has been jacked...

Front valance is all wrong :-





Those little panels that surround the fog lights are quite expensive.

It's not a "scam" ad per say, as in Nigerian scam, but Dr. Andres Anton has tried to sell some very shady cars before, including an obviously faked 1973 Carrera RS as a real one.

Very odd car...it's possible that a Speedster could be fitted with the rear brake ducts through Special Wishes, but I've never seen one. I would guess it was in an accident and the ducts were added along with the incorrect "Turbo" style front valence and lip. Or it's a got a fake VIN like his RS did and it's some hacked up '77 Targa.
