well the VIN supplied starts of correctly for a 1980 998 pick up.

but it does not mean the vehicle you are looking at is genuine.

A pickup has a vertical rear panel and different taillights.

A mini van has a sloping back, if you convert one to a pickup you will be able to tell

Looks legit to me. If you do buy it, bin those number plates , they're dire.

And put the original ones it used to have on
