Is that a genuine 904 or a replica?

To the best of my knowledge, both the 904 and the 718 RSK are genuine. Both were unattended the three times I passed by, but historically the replicars (primarily Speedsters) are identified as such. I'll ask around and see what I can find out.

To be honest, I'm not sure, but I've asked my brother who's more of an expert on P-cars than I am, for his opinion. It may be a while till I hear back from him as I think he's on his way to his radiation treatment about now. Damn cancer.

I believe a real one would have an engine that would look more like this one:
