YBs were shipped out to the states for use in single seaters, they were not just intended for Sierras and Escos they came in all guises, Ford only pulled the plug in their use for road cars due to the recession in the mid nineties, they used the excuse of emissions, but the last small turbo YB met every reg under the sun throughout the world.
I'd say it's much more likely to be a brand new never fitted red blue or green one that some one has had re done in black that's why there's a box.
That's a much more likely story than a guess to be honest and there's no way you can tell it's genuine just from seeing pictures lol
If cosworth can finish them to that standard then others can!
