Found this surfing Hemmings...

Anyone have an opinion on this as far as authenticity and provenance?
The wheels appear to be later style.
What would the correct wheels be... early monoblock?

Ticks a lot of boxes.
AMG / OZ 3pc would be the correct wheel for this.

While it ticks a lot of boxes, yes, it was panned by the peanut gallery on BaT due to no clear conclusive evidence the car was/is a 6.0. This brought to light the topic of Japanese fakes being out there. No documentation on engine mods. The seller, a reputable member, was asked to confirm displacement via a few means, had planned to but decided to re-auction at a later date. Guess it won't be coming back on BaT.

Thanks Bondavi. Probably why the seller didn't get back to me about documentation I asked if they had.
I hadn't seen it on BaT.
