Default What Hood is this?

Im probably gonna be buying this car to part-out later this week. Im trying to figure out what hood this is. It kind of looks like a stock hood with some sort of fiberglass scoop put on it. Ive never seen another one like it.

That shitty body kit is on a semi rare car. I dont know too much about them but they are called "Banshee's" and had custom odd looking body kits and ram air hoods. Too each is there own they are definetly different but im not a big fan of them.

I just did some googling. It seems all of the banshee cars came with a Trans am wing on the back. I cant tell what the graphics say on the side. Looks like it starts with an "M" and has either a Z or II after the first word.

Thats what I am thinking. I was excited when I saw the listing because there was a pic from the back of the car with the hood popped up, and it looked like a legit ram air.

Well, the good on the car is it runs, the interior is nice, the wheels look decent, and it has a T56. Im definitly looking at it in a couple of days and will probably end up buying it to put it out of its misery. Plus, I want an extra motor to finally start my 355 build I been dreaming up for 3 years.
