Some negative details have already been posted on the FaceBook group (private)
For instance...

A decent amount of work would have to be done to make this car "right" /correct.
The painted stripes are a total killer Mistake

The "SHELBY" emblems on the exterior are not factory-applied. The previous owner replaced them
They should be "SAAC" emblems and can be corrected fairly easily.
Proof of this incorrect detail is the dash and the firewall plaque ID noting the car is a SAAC, not a Shelby

The painted stripes are not correct.
Not only are they the wrong color they are NOT the right tapered shape on the front fenders.
The hood stripes need to be rounded on the outer corners too.

This is not close to the wrapper car (MKI 037) for sale earlier in the year.
That car was just about as perfect and factory as anyone can find.

I don't think the mileage in the ad is mentioned either.
This MKI XX4 car has been well used, with about 55,000 miles on the odometer.

Didn't some come with Shelby Emblems and are the SAAC Emblems still available?

Yes, the very early MKIs had the "SHELBY AAC" emblems and SHELBY valve covers/intake plates.
As you may know, Chrysler put an immediate stop to that and threatened a lawsuit
That was based on their agreement with CS for their license,

There were 13 1991 completed cars with various combinations of emblems and CS interior logos.
The 6 prototypes constantly evolved before getting sold off.
XX4, one of the later cars, was never sold with the "SHELBY" emblems.
The 2012 photos show it with those SAAC emblems
It did have the CS interior logo and engine dressings.
The SAAC firewall and dash plaque are the clear indicators this car was sold with the SAAC MKI exterior emblems.
