Default 1989 Turbo Cup for sale?

Is this for real? In Cissna Park, IL? Tried searching for this car being offered for sale on other sites but was unsucessful.

Must be legit... The ad says that it has an automatic transmission!

Anytime you see something like that... too good to be true... just Google part of the description. They stole the description and pictures from a legitimate ad, more than likely.

How do I know? Because someone paid sight-unseen $20,000 for my 1982 930 a few years ago, but the problem is I no longer owned the car (sold about 6 months prior) and they certainly didn't pay me. I found out about it because my insurance company called me asking me if I wanted to call a police detective who was investigating the case for the poor soul who paid out $20,000k for a $40,000 (at the time) 911 Turbo. Too good to be true? Yup.

There are sometimes phenomenal deals out there... you just need a little common sense.

That's not one of those deals.

As far as I know, there were no automatic 951s.

And there's that.

Super rare option on the Turbo Cups.

Thanks for the feedback. It was kind of strange to see such an ad on the local Salt Lake City for sale site. A few years ago this was quite a reliable site for selling and buying. Everything's infected these days. I'll report it to KSL.
