HELL YEA!!!!!
Look out home boy!!!Get the women and children off the street!
At first I wasn't sure if I should believe the hype but after reading the below I'm sold!!!!!
POW!!!
It's a shame he's so far out there since it does have a nice exhaust manifold and the Rajay turbo is a good unit if it doesn't need a rebuild but those units are only good to around 450fwhp ,might could get close to 500 if someone had a waste gate and used it for a blow through.Doesn't the manifold adaptor that comes with it below operate like those old super suck IMPCO valves that limited boost by choking off the airflow to the motor ,just another reason I think it was originally designed for a big block RV since it has a 1.3 A/R exhaust and doesn't need top end power.
This thing will flow big horsepower . . . like up to 750hp with this single turbo (this is the biggest turbo they made)! This is a serious system and has seen very limited use. The condition is excellent. It was installed on two different cars and subsequently, both cars where demolished shortly after. "If you can't handle the heat - get out of the kitchen!" THIS IS NOT A TOY TURBO SYSTEM, for the strip and serious street car or pickup.

winning bidder to have their engine set up with lower compression pistons to handle the boost in order to not blow your heads through your hood nor the front wheels through your driveway.

I think it does look legit, the castings look like good quality pieces. A little research would be in order but if Shelby really was involved I'm sure it was high-end back when it came out. I'm know size isn't everything but that turbo is huge, I'd imagine it could support some pretty big numbers if used with water/alcohol injection.

Thats an interesting looking hat for the top of the intake manifold. Someone could conceivably take that kit, eliminate the carb inlet, and make a good EFI kit out of it.
Interesting.

I dont see how it could make more than 500 hp with that small downpipe. And its not even mandrel bent.
