Sounds like its a too good of a deal to pass on! ...but it does sounds fishy..I see that it has a JLT CAI on it!

Maybe the Cobra has a "knock"...really gotta go look at it! ...Should be more like $8k

that is the typical scam. That's why I say 100% scam. They are all over... eBay, craigslist, etc. You'll see a car, truck, bike, etc. ridiculously cheap and they always offer to ship it for free. You can never come see it, many times they claim to be out the country themselves but they always want to sell it cheap and ship for free. They will take your money and you get nothing.

It is an absolute scam don't pursue it at all. This is one of the common scams that happens on craigslist as well.
