Smells like a scam. I had almost the same exchange with someone on ebay who offered to arrange pickup/shipping for a set of wheels I was selling. He also assured me that pickup would occur only after funds have cleared. Why not buy these wheels locally instead of forking $$$$ to have them shipped half way across the country? It's not like I was selling them for pennies. So this looks like common practice for fraud, not a common practice to sell/buy a $50k+ car.
The other red flag in your case is that he wants the car sight unseen and knowing it doesn't have a clean record.
I would stay away.
