Does this craigslist ad look like a scam?

I have a '98 Grand Prix and wouldn't mind doing this for the fun of it. He said usually they pay a couple hundred a day. I didn't get the name of the TV show yet as it was a quick conversation since I phoned him a little late, he's going to phone back tomorrow.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

EDIT: Well I've done some research on the net about the guy and he appears to have worked on some movies and TV shows locally and he is listed on IMDB as being a production driver on a few local movies, so it looks like it might be legit.

I'd give them a call and get some info (who they are working with/for), come check out their set get a feel for it.. Then there is insurance coverage and all to make sure of if they just use it versus buy..

If they're doing it for a movie, which it sounds like, they're probably specific on what they want, the reason why they specified the years of the Grand Prix and specified the Cadillac and color.

Neil Patrick Harris: [looks down to count money] Here's 80 for the meal, and 200 for the car
Harold: What did you do to my car?
Neil Patrick Harris: I made some love stains in the back. You'll see...
