The following ad for a 59 convertible is a scam:
https://porsche356registry.org/classifieds/21565
The seller just joined the Registry today.
Here is the same car for sale on Autotrader for sale for $125,000.
And here it is on eBay for 125k or best offer:

And here it is on Pelican, also for 125k:

I called the owner and told him that his car was listed on the Registry. He confirmed that it was a scam. I told him that I would alert the Registry and ask that the ad be removed.

Re: Scam Alert
The classifieds seem to be getting a little out of control with scammers. A good protection I have seen on other forums is you can't place a classified ad until you have at least 10 postings. This weeds out most of the scammers since it actually takes work, scammers don't like to work, other than to steal pictures and money.
