I don't think its a scam, the link I posted is still there, on carandclassic its a bit friendlier or less complex then on ebay.and yes, that modell comes with the V6, but when you look under the hood, plenty of space left for a V8, even a V10 or short V12 would fit there I guess :-) so a nice V8 with 350hp ++ would be great for that car.
and if all is real, the base price is good for such.
according to the seller the car would profit from a respray to make it look good., so the "ugly" and unnecessary stickers could be removed within this process.
the car has:
wrong seats (original ones are extremely rare to source), wrong steering wheel (with Maserati Logo !!!), modern (non-original) instruments, modern (non-original) dash-switches, the rear seat-bench is missing. wrong indicators, holes in the front bumper from the fog-lights, ugly ali-express gear-knob.
so you all have to put this into account when rating the price.

I’ve seen the black car in person and it’s absolutely not worth almost £30,000. The paint is shoddy, the engine needs cleaning up, the seats are wrong, the back bench seat is missing, the grill is a bodge and I won’t even mention the rather Halfords-esque cosmetic “enhancements”.
£15,000 is about right I’d say, plus a respray and an entire interior retrim. Mechanically it was solid so there’s that I suppose, I almost bought it myself but I instead found this very early 1967 “flip-front” Trident which makes for a nice restoration project for me.

I guess those front/side/rear windows would be hard to get?
or do those (front and rear, side you can make in 'plastic') come from more 'normal' cars.
All glass in the car is bespoke. The triangle rear windows are actually the least complex shapes so they are the cheapest to replace if they break. The front and rear screens are the worst ones to deal with if something goes wrong.or do those (front and rear, side you can make in 'plastic') come from more 'normal' cars.

it looked better in 1975 
looks like someone tried to bite the headlamps out
your a brave man, a lot of work will go in that car, but then you have something special.
The headlights had some non standard covers on them I’ve had to remove in order to restore the original design. looks like someone tried to bite the headlamps out
