If you look at auction results a sound example of that particular model will go for well over $200,000 all day long. It should be priced as the USD equivalent in Bitcoin. No one's going to hand over extra coins.
In addition to Bitcoin being an immature currency, I'd say that judging by a fair few comments on the forums its holders may not have fully reached maturity themselves. I guess everyone on here is conditioned to (justifiably) think SCAM unless proven otherwise.
List it on Bitpremier or try somewhere like Jamesedition.

When muscle cars were bringing the huge bucks maybe. But this is not an example that would bring the $300,000 (and fortunately most of the people that were bidding stupid were sellers in 2010/11/12/13 at auctions where muscle was plunging in price like the tessarossas 20 years before.

The post is idiotic and deserves to be called out. Asking for a "premium" to accept bitcoins has no place here and people that do it should be put in their place. Is it a scam, I would think it is pretty likely. He does not know (nor show) enough pride and knowledge about the car that "he has now owned 44 years".

It is a mistake to not set the price to the current exchange rate at the day of the sale. Scamming someone with a transaction of this nature would be quite tricky don't you think? You can't really claim it got lost in the mail.

Recent prices for these have gone up to $500,000 + at auction for all original cars. There's one for sale right now described as a barn find for $189,000. The value is in the right ball park.
