Yeah, that's 'click-bait' pricing.

The ad says it has its original motor. Anyone see anything missing within the serial number?

P (missing star)81253(star)

It's not the number, it's missing the star after the P and before the 8. Any engine case of this era has the star between the P and the start of the engine number. There's a picture of it in the link to the auction. Picture file too big to post. I like the car either way...
