I don't think there is any question that the Salt Lake City ad is a scam. Be Careful Out There!! The photos do not look like they were taken in Salt Lake City either.
Based on the VIN, I would think that might be a 1979 model rather than a 1980. The only 1980 Newell I know the VIN used the 17 digit VIN and this one uses the format Newell used during the 1970's. The 17 digit VIN (which for Newell always begins with 1N9) was mandatory beginning in 1981 but a number of vehicle manufacturers, including GM and Chrysler and I believe Newell, started using it with the 1980 model year.
That is one nice looking Classic!!
