I agree- it's a parts car he photographed right where he picked it up. Probably wrote the ad at the nearest gas station. It's worth somebody's wrenching trouble for $300 but not for the 12x markup requested.

Someone reported it today and thought it seemed sketchy.
The misinformed seller "triple black" thing isn't sketchy to me.
People say dumb/wrong stuff in tons of ads
The username dscam4 with "scam" in it is funny but irrelevant
I couldn't find anything when I did my normal searches on things like the ad text or photos being stolen from somewhere else

Price is an issue and could be a red flag - How much should it be?

in my experience of scam adverts the vehicle is usually priced suspiciously low to attract bargain hunters to part with their money. the triple black cabrio advert will probably just sit there with no takers as it's overpriced...

Agree with the "low price" hook. That was a red flag to me last week on a 356 steering wheel (along with a couple other things). And it turned out to be a scam.

As for overpriced, well I wouldn't pay that for that car. However it's close to what I WOULD possibly pay for a very original one owned by a certain someone who knows who he is Wink

It seems well sorted and even though it's not "stock nazi" original and some things are goofy to me (those puffy pleated seats!), I could see selling near that. If they put it on BaT, it very will might hammer at that price or more. Karmann Ghias have gone nuts on BaT of late!

Well, let’s see:
- Custom two tone stock steering wheel... Check
- German square weave carpet bounded in leather... Check
- Crow 4 point belts for rear seat victims... Check
- Heated front seats... Check
- Caution stripes on rear apron... Check
- Higher cost of living in Hawaii... Check
- Need to replenish funds blow on toy before wife notices... Check

... Numbers! Missing rally numbers!

Wow! I am bummed there was no picture of the special "Andre the Giant" sticker noted in the description. I'm also interested in the "Saffaire Radio"!

Can someone explain the "Front seats are heated with Crow belts" part, though? Heated seats?
