Anyone recognize this Kenne Bell powered 08?

I'm in the market for an 08+ GT500 and saw this pop up on autotrader. Kind of surprised at the relatively tiny description and lack of photos given that this looks like a Kenne Bell 2.8 on this car. Anyone on here recognize this car?

Something tells me the sales guys will know less about it than I do at this point.

Something is wrong with the ad. Some of the pics of the interior has black seats and some has the red/black ones. Also some pics has Nav and the other doesn't.

The last 2 pics that have some red interior and Nav say they are just stock photos. It looks like a newer Kenne Bell since it has the LC lines as well as their newer intake

The price makes up for the rims.

The last two pics look like fillers.....or were added to the wrong car add. I have seen that happen before. The KB looks like a 2.8 LQ model. Ugg those rims though...they would be the first thing to go.

Those last two pics are just fillers, never seen a shelby with seats like that. It has an after market shifter and a 2.8 lc kb from the pics I can see. I agree the wheels are hideous and it's somewhat odd to see a car at a dealer that modded. Price seems fair but odds are the dealer will be completely oblivious to the mods and think it's a stock car with exhaust or something. If you buy it immediately get the tune checked, gl.

Given the mods and the mileage the pricing isn't terrible, but a re-spray of those rims would be needed immediately. My major concern as you've mentioned though is what supporting mods are on it and what were taken off prior to trade in and god only knows what the state of the tune is at this point in time.

The red insert seats were a very rare option it seems. I'm also looking at a local 2009 vert that has those seats in it. Only 4 were built, and the car is also a stripe-delete making it probably a 1 of 1 with that combo.

By respraying the rims do you mean spraying them w/ gasoline and lighting them on fire? If the guy left the blower on he probably left everything else since the blower is the most valuable mod.

That's a very likely possibility. I think my first step would be to douse them in aircraft stripper and deal with whatever that left me with. Perhaps take them to an aluminum recycler. I don't know of a coat of paint would solve the problem.
