Well, it might be genuine. You've nothing to lose by replying stating condition of car etc. Ask him how far away he is in case he wants a viewing. I don't know many people that would buy a car without looking at the thing first. He wants to pay by Bank draft rather than the usual western union, paypal etc. Which bank. If foreign then walk away. Says he's a Rev. No harm in asking which parish etc.
No point disregarding what could be a genuine buyer. I think his next communication will give away whether he is or not. Bascially, just keep your wits about you. However, my hunch is that it is spam but no harm stringing them along
