It must be one of the prototypes made, since it was never mass-produced

And as I backup only geting.se & imageshack.us, I do not have a copy of the pics either...

The pics have survived the moving.

does Peugeot have offices or something in New Jersey?!? most of those non-US cars had NJ plates and the ones I could see had Manufacturers plates (meaning that the car is registered to the manufacturer) on them.

Yes they still have an office, mainly for parts

Automobiles Peugeot does not manufacture vehicles that conform to current United States regulations. For this reason it is unfortunately impossible for anyone to import a Peugeot model into the USA . Should anybody attempt to do so, the vehicle will be blocked at the port of arrival and will not be allowed to be operated in the USA and Canada .
As of this date, Automobiles Peugeot has no plan for resuming the sales of its vehicles in the USA or Canada

I wonder why, if Peugeot has no intention of entering the US market again, they would go through the trouble of shipping those cars here? Surely it would be cheaper to just buy US cars for their employees to drive around in.

Since it's in Texas, I'm thinking it might be a Mexican drug trafficking car that was seized and auctioned by the DEA. Because such cars are not imported into the US through official channels, they are never inspected for compliance with FMVSS.

I agree that that is very likely gag halfrunt, especially since the ad says that the car got it's paint job in Mexico and it has a bonded title.

The text of the ad doesn't say that. Did you contact the seller directly?
