[OT] Is this the scammiest scam that ever scammed? (out of state car sale)
So as some of you may know, I've been on the hunt for a Trans Am with a digital dash. I found one that sounded like a screaming deal in the Chicago area. I emailed the seller to see if it was still available and how long it had sat without being driven. This is the ad and the response I got.

I kind of think it reads like a flag store that ran out of every color but red...
- Ad says car was bought at an estate sale but email claims to be the late owner's widow
- Didn't actually answer my question about how long it sat
- If the car has no mechanical problems it's worth twice what they're asking
- Free shipping? Who does that?
- "The car is already at the shipper" Hmmm, I feel like I've seen that one before... on here... in a post by somebody making fun of a Craigslist scammer...
- Car only seems to be advertised on this one website that I've never heard of
... but on the off chance the shipping company turns out to be real and verifies this person's story, should I gamble 9000 skymiles and a one-day car rental to go check it out, or am I going to end up getting kidnapped, raped and murdered if I actually do show up at some random warehouse in Nebraska/Illinois?
