There are so many clues to it not being original, but the first one that jumps out at me is the returned edge on the side vents. This is a common feature on many GRP replicas, even though it is easy to fix.
The RAM uses a backbone space-frame chassis and as such has a huge transmission tunnel, which gives the game away straightaway. However, RAM were authorized by Shelby and many of them carry CSX####R chassis numbers, in spite of the fact that AC allocated the original chassis numbers not Shelby.
