Mastersbilt? Maybe...I'd feel more confident if I could see the main hoop right behind the drivers seat/in front of the LR tire area. But an '05? I say no way, much older. I'm not sure when they got away from the single shear 4-bar mounts, but I remember the rear frame rails dropping in the back to match up with mono-leaf sliders.
I was also thinking it's older but I wasn't around the racing scene a whole lot during those years. I don't think this guy is scamming me… I don't think he knows.
it does appear to be a mastersbit by looking at the bar going to the back off the top of the halo. The right side was always lower on the older cars anyway, not sure about the more recent ones.

There are a few things that don't look quite right, but it certainly could be one. And is definitely a copy if not one.
A car that old can and has had things changed. The lr behind mount was added.
Nope, not a GRT. way to many things different to be a GRT.
If I had to guess on the year of a masters, I'd say a 95 to 97ish but the LR behind mount sort of throws that for a loop, if the LR behind mount is factory and not added by someone that would date the car 1999ish or newer as that is when most made it standard on cars.
I'd pass on the car, if you thinking about it as any J-bar angle at all and the RR tire will rub the RR frame rail
I had a 96 masters back in the day the combo car and it looks like it. I also had a 99 narrow it had the single 4 bar mounts on top. Id like to see the bottom 4 bar mounts.

On a narrow car, the mounts would be spaced off the frame rail.
What dimensions change between a wide and narrow car? I assume it's frame width?
The owner never raced this car… he was going to use it for a mud drag racer. Now his GF wants it gone. I'm not sure what I'd do with it… if it's one that came from a certain local driver it has a pretty good back story with many feature wins and a few championships to boot. It's cheap enough that I could just store it… or make it a show car or run it in vintage races. It would make a good dirt super stock with a stock stub and 3 link or leafs. Or flip it.
