The seller does an admirable job stating that he believes this car is a clone that has had the VIN on 'one or more components' altered. Very interesting, but even as a clone, I'm guessing it will easily eclipse $50k as even the 318 cars are pretty scarce.
So, if this car's VIN didn't originally include the V engine code, I'm wondering how this would have been done. Possibly, a new VIN tag, plus an Alabama title?
You don't often see an auction description conclude with this phrase: "The winning bidder/buyer will sign a notarized hold harmless agreement, stating they are aware that the car is represented as an altered, non-numbers matching unit."
