Default 1978 "Walter Rhol rally homologation model"? For sale LOL

Saw this listing today https://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/584083?ad_cid=2

"I hate that term, but it originally came from a farm house and years of neglect have taken it's toll on the car, but this is a rare one. This is the 1978 Walter Rhol rally homologation model (I'll be more then glad to bore you with the details on the phone). This is an import from Germany and comes with a dog legged 5-speed (these are close ratio gearboxes for rally)."

Haha what? it's Rohrl. I contacted the seller they proceed to tell me that they put any vin into the listing because they were tired when they posted. Then went on to tell me it was imported through Vancouver hence the US spec bumpers and marker lights. I then told him I have never seen a Canadian or US federalized car look so US spec. He then proceeded to laugh out loud and said "Vancouver is NOT Canada". Oh boy we got a winner here.

the seller describes it as a "barnyard find"...I assume that that must be the opposite of a "barn find" because that car looks like it has been stored in a field for 20 years
