Yeah the ad seems fishy with no number or location. Maybe just copied and edited from somewhere and posted to do some fishing?

This smells like a scam with a capital "S". Just for the hell of it, shoot an email to the seller. You'll prob get an email with a phone number and you'll talk on the phone. Then you'll prob be told to send the money to a third party shipping company who will supposedly deliver the vehicle. Upon inspection of the car, the shipping company will then send the money to the seller. How do I know? Saw a 71 SX on Craigslist right before I bought my 72 Supreme and this was the story with that. And btw, in the email you'll get a VIN, and these scammers are so good, that when you run the VIN it will show legit.

Try it and see if I'm right...

Minore posted on FB that the car is currently for sale at a dealer in NC. It’s a scam.

I went to check the car out since it was located near me so I offered him a low ball price of $20,000 and surprisingly he accepted it. Now I'm stuck with a car I really don't need.
