I didn't see anything to make me suspicious that the ad is not for real. Sounds like he's making an honest (realistic) attempt at the description...good and bad. And in other obvious scams, that's unusual. He also encourages a local sell, requires local pick-up and gives a specific location in California...rather than a more generic sort of location like "USA" or "WEST COAST" or even "LOS ANGELES AREA". Plus a contact e-mail which could be checked.
I'm not huge on Tuner magazines, but thinking that if it was that high of profile car and displayed at SEMA....if he weren't the true owner the real owner would probably be alerted in short order.

Doesnt look like a scam to me, just looks like an over priced rx7 in my opinion. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I would be buying the 95 car on ebay for $8500 buy it now or whatever the price is if I was buying one of the cars on ebay right now.

The car in the link you posted looks like someone just threw a bunch of money at a car, not wisely I might add, but once again, different strokes for different folks.

I wouldnt see why it is a scam. It has a blown engine.

If it was a scam he wouldn't have listed the tires as 'Coopers' :lol:

I didnt even catch that part, a blown auto for$18K??? If someone pays that for I guess you could consider it a scam:lol::lol:

From the pics it looks like it would be a decent show car. I guess I didnt catch that blown enging part either. But there still is a but load of money put into it. with all the money you could make parting it out, one would think you could still get a decent return on it

Not a scam, but I think it'd be worth 10k max, if the work that was done was done properly.

"this car was the first car in 2004 to come out with a complete carbon fiber body kit and a lambo door kit that year in which IT BLEW UP THE CARBON FIBER INDUSTRY. It has been in many magazine covers, t.v shows, movies and ADULT FILM say to least."

The ad had me at blew and adult film. I wonder if there is any remaining evidence from the film which might justify the $18k price.

Bumping this up, this dude: JhosuaRamos is suddenly all over the Facebook RX-7 groups promoting his body kit parts like a boss.

Buyer beware guys----
