1987 Renault 5 Turbo 2.Nice original car in good condition but requiring light restoration.Needs repainting.

NMNA

Even if that car needs the bottom half replacing, that's a steal.

Assuming it exists...

My first thought was scam, too. But in reality, the price might not be far off.

The 847 area code is legit for our area.  No plates on the car doesn’t help ID the scaminess if this. 

Toast roof paint, hanging side view mirror, engine cover panel thing showing a gap, obscure auto manufacturer, and an even more obscure sub model of car most people wouldn't know. That price is starting to seem a bit high, but damn that would be such a cool car to bomb around for the summer.

So is this a pretty limited production car? Like strictly a homologation numbers?

In reply to RossD :

I don’t know the numbers produced, but they seem to appear for sale at least 10x more frequently than their peers. 

These were 20k for the longest time but I think some have changed hands for north of 100k. Depends upon how much work is really needed but this has to be cheapest one put on the market in a very long time!

Emailed. Scam, though their English is pretty good and they drag it on for quite some time before the; dead husband, sad memories, want to get rid of ASAP, already moved, wire me the money and you can pick it up in Chicago.

sad...  cool car.

Legendary mid-engined rally homologation car, although the Turbo 2 is the higher volume later model.

As it sits, even if it needs bodywork and/or engine work, I would say that's at least a $20k car, if not more. If it were real, that is.
