It's a scam.  There was a similar ad couple years ago, and placed on 
Craigslist in multiple cities.  As I was looking for one, I think the 
car was an early MGB if my memory serves me correctly.  Same pristine 
example of car, and displayed in a very attractive setting. And of 
course, similar strange buying instructions.
This car is also advertised on CL in Los Angeles.  At the price they 
have it advertised at, one ad in Fresno would sell it if it was legitimate.
