these guys can tell you everything you need to know but there is a cost. Just looking at the pics it looks legit to me. Painted mirrors and various colour coded trims are unique to that package as far as I know.

Unfortunately the odometer readings aren’t always accurate but it’s definitely a red flag. Does it by chance show where it was recorded?

double checked on carfax too and they show more odometer recordings in the 200000+ km range unfortunately. Had to back out on the deal cant pay top dollar for a car with a sketchy history.

Probably the smart call, who knows what else the seller could be hiding. Buyer beware.

You can at least check the original engine by the VIN code, 8th digit should be an "E" for a 5.0L Fox if I remember correctly.

cheers
