Do you believe this story?
Saw this ad in AutoTrader... very strange

VIN AT Car ID AT-17682D7E
Coupe
Exterior:

Interior:
Red
Rating unavailable
CITY MPG
Rating unavailable

Seller Comments
"barn find" Rather, basement find. Car was recently removed from a home in which the current owners didn't know the car was there. Previous owner of the home had placed the car in the basement and walled it in. It was found during renovations. 13k miles on the odometer. Still sits on original tires that are still retaining air...no cracks or dry rot, but a little flat spot indication. It has some bumps/bruises. Appears to have had some paintwork done on the driver's side at some point. Exterior is metallic black. Interior is mint. She runs and drives. We've gone through her to ensure that everything works as it should. All mileage was put on with a dealer plate, thus the car has never been registered. We do not have a title, but have all the information necessary to obtain one. Priced for a quick sale.

Here's a Link (while it lasts). There are some pics of the car covered in dust in what appears to be more of a barn than a basement. My question is "if it truly was in a basement, how did the car get in there and how did he get it out".
