Sadly I actually deciphered that. 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Spider. Runs great. Phone call only, best offers. Yes, it is Turbocharged. I need a daily driver. This car is missing the hood and top. Cash talks.
But yes... what the hell. I think this is what you get when you legalize drugs :P
Of course they've not put a photo
Or, he'd been working on it for several days and couldn't get it to run or something else broke, so in his frustration (probably threatening the car while typing) spit out a CL ad on his phone.....
I've cussed out a car before and could see myself resort to threats at said car with a CL ad.

In other variations of the ad, after the word "torbo" it ends in:
"rear car need some wiring and top call"
"rear car need some work must go"
.
Presumably the same seller also has another ad:
1957 chve 4 door have 90000 oregenel mile 3 speed run like new car
.
...Of course, none have photos that show WTF they're talking about.
His English is better than my downs syndrome.
I think ads like these are typed while drunk. I'm a quite capable speller and grammar nazi, but I've noticed, after getting a few in me, my typing on forums goes to crap and I go back the next day, flabbergasted at the hooch that typed the bad engrish. Only to be shocked when I see my forum name to the left...
Or the seller is just barely literate. Still happens in the US - I know a guy who worked his whole life as a crane operator and reading just isn't in his skill set. My mother in law is doing all his paperwork for him.
I usually just assume that they're dictating to whatever voice keyboard is on their phone.

I feel compelled to test your hypothesis. 
I saw a similar ad the other day while looking for small tractors. One line said that the ying is good. I looked at it a few times and I think i figured it out, he was trying to say the wiring is good. He spelled it like it sounds, you know, when he says it. Y-ing. Y-ing. Let that sink in a minute. Y-ing.
Looks like a winner to me, if they can't read, write, or spell it doesn't seem unreasonable to assume a good deal could be had thanks to their inability to count
