Ah, I see now.

There are many scam websites out there.
Recommend you steer clear of trovit.
Bottom line: never buy a car unless you personally inspect it and the title. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is a scam. The cars for sale posted on this forum are usually legit. Hemmings, auction houses as Sotheby's, Bonham's and Goodings are also bonafide. Please be careful out there.

P.S We cannot confirm or deny that David Wiebes or his father ever owned a Continental Mark II

How did you come up with the VIN C56B1991?

This is interesting, because Forum Member Jack Bowser has searched for that car for years.

For example, Jack posted this in 2020 "I think there may be a chance someone in a club in the Northern California area may know where the mark II ( C56B1991) might be. Jim Fox posted something about it in 2012 and he was from San Francisco. I owned this car back in the early 1960's and would love to find out about it's whereabouts and condition today."

I took a look and the site is hard to surf. The same car is also listed as being in Brookfield, a suburb of Milwaukee for $30,000. and again for $20,500.
The pictures are taken at the same house.
I couldn't find a picture of the data plate. Did someone say there is a picture of it?
I sent the seller a note asking to come see the car. His answer should be interesting.
If you this car is a bargain, They also have a 1957 Mercedes 300 SL Roadster listed for $90,000.

I'll take all those I can get at that price. Ha!

Right on, John.
They also have a 1957 Mercedes 300 SL Roadster listed for $90,000.
