 Interesting. Looking close it does seem to be a different car.
I can see buying it and repairing the top and some fenders and reselling but the engine size difference is a red flag.

The second car is supposedly in Spain.

It's amazing how much Spain looks like Ohio or Anywhere, Middle USA.

After what I found out the second car is shipped to Europe (Spain) and the pictures from the sale in US.

Can someone find out what the VIN is for kind of car, 350 or 396?

No way to tell by VIN alone.

Something is fishy. You better get a picture of the VIN tag if you are interested in buying it.

Scammers often copy information from legitimate ads, and that VIN is already documented on the Ohio car.

The VIN tag on the 350 car looks legit & it has POP and other docs. The TT looks like 03E (or might be 02E?)  - based on N626982 the car was built mid April - 03E kinda makes sense.

The 396 car is a 03D - might be a match for the VIN production date?

If the 350 TT is 03E - I would say it is the legit car.

They both are 350 cars.
The VIN on the Spain car should be 124679N623100. It had a 396 in it and the original 350 with it. Oops, somehow the 350 got lost....

Very intresting, Kurt. How do you  know? Is thrre any ad that can confirm? Seems like they also changed to 396 emblems on front fenders.

How coincidental can it be that the same VIN was typed up for each ad and both being Z10's ?  ::)   Should play the lottery ;D
