Default Saleen Notch?!?!

Ok I read the article in Modified Mustangs and was impressed that the idea was their but they never went through with it but i was just on ebay and i spoted this red one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1991-...QQcmdZViewItem

how would I know if its a real saleen notch. Im having thoughts that its a fake because if its 1 of 4 and the owner knew this, then why did he put 69 000 miles on it and let the stickers go to he//? and did they make them in red? i thought it was only white

thanks for any imput and i didnt know if this should go in 5.0 or off topic sorry

it's fake cuz they don't exist

that seller thinks he can dupe someone. just like sellers talking about the "police interceptor" motors , and other crap that is a fairy tale.

because i dont have an account and not really worried that much about it and plus wouldnt it come up as a lx notch since it was only 1 of 4 and was made from an already existing notch with a vin? thats why i never carfax'd it
