This car is cross-listed on Autotrader as well. Here is the thread:
Bid to $30.75k this morning (July 8th)
I saw this on Classic Autotrader. No shots of the engine, and the ad says "Engine: NA" - perhaps this is just a roller?
www.salvagereseller.com
Autotrader has a shot of the VIN (#2270603) - thought maybe you guys can run it through the database and see what pops up.
Vehicle is listed in Van Nuys, CA, but the auction house is in Coconut Creek, FL. This looks like another salvage sale?

Hmm, in the realm of Toyota Previas, NA refers to the Naturally Aspirated version of the engine vs. the Supercharged version, which was an option at first, and then standard starting in 1995. But the usage in this ad seems peculiar.This car is cross-listed on Autotrader as well. Here is the thread:

Copart: Inka 2800cs, listed as a 1972...so we know that it is either earlier or not a 2800. Listed as a clean title, no vin# shown.
Interesting, this car was recently posted on another site and talked about in this thread below. There are a number of strange things about this car.

"Estimated retail value $325K"...wait....what? I know what they must be smoking there in Van Nuys...
It's banged up front and back...but great color!
Sucks whoever owned this, didn't keep it, damage doesn't look that bad.

Stripes and trunk badge say CSL, who knows, maybe it is. We need the vin.
without a VIN, nobody knows ... it might just be a tarted up CS or CSi. my coupe has CSL rear seats and scheel sport seats, a leather 38cm Petri, so it doesn't look like a 2800cs on the surface and right now there is no rear badge (yet). then you open the hood and see a SFDon 3.5L with the injected C tube manifold ... and the uninformed begins to wonder what it is. here, we don't have a pic of the engine bay or a VIN. without photos, it didn't happen.
The estimated retail value is usually from insurance for total losses. I doubt that's a typo but without a VIN...
The VIN is 2275310.
Its has an injected motor. There are new photos posted on the site. The stamping doesn't look original to me.

Number 310 of the first 429 injected CSLs
thanks i have now added it to the ancestry project. the VIN doesn't look like its in the original position ... me thinks it has had some rust repairs and they drilled new holes.
It also looks like a reproduced plate. It looks new and the stamped numbers are not lined up. Maybe not the correct serial number? It would be good to see the other SN locations.
Thank the manager at that location for the updated photos..
car has been restored - i'm sure they replaced the VIN plaque. but the original location should not conflict with the seam above it. the new plaque is also distorted when it was pop-riveted onto the inner fender. this is a car, in spite of its new damage, requires very close inspection before sinking a ton of money in it. haven't looked at it that closely but it looks like it has 16" alpina or alpina style wheels. it looks like a 40 cm petri (just seems bigger than a 38 cm). maybe i'm wrong as these aren't good pictures.
