It's possible. Ask him if he has the handrest, black ones are almost impossible to find.

He bought it from Olivia a while ago:

I am not sure how will he make any profit from it for that price, if only 1 person bids it means a loss of $500. Something doesn't smell too good here...

Here is an apparent one-off Shadow. Are there others?

I played a Shadow a couple of weeks ago, and it was probably the best bass I've played that's post 1973. Great thin neck and feel. The 4002 that I also sampled, although a great looking bass, felt club like and cumbersome in comparison.
No question which I'd rather own from a playing perspective.

I played my Shadow today, it still amazes me how low I can get the action, it's like a "fretless wonder" Les Paul...

IIRC when this bass was on eBay John Hall posted that it's not officially a Shadow.
You can have a run-of-the mill 80's 4003 modified to look like this, but for it to look like a real Shadow you'd have to replace the fretboard.
