I still have the add through my history, copied it below, it was worth a shot whoever is our Cudasheriff

"Scam Alert" 1995 BARRACUDA DOS EQUIS XX TEAM MOUNTAIN BIKE-ALL ORIGIN - $1 (BONIFACE)
This guy is trying to sell a lesser Barracuda bicycle with a XX Dos Equis sticker on the top tube. A genuine XX Dos Equis Barracuda is constructed of aluminum. The bike he is listing is constructed of steel. Compare the rear of his bike with a real XX, you can see the "hefty" frame tubes connecting at the rear axle. Also, all XX Dos Equis Barracudas are gold. The full picture is of an actual 95 XX Dos Equis Barracuda. Don't be fooled by imitations.

Well done Mystery Cudahead, way to take the initiative!!! You've inspired to to sort this fool out... I have an idea... (more later)

I once ran across a team frame that was painted up red, but it was a one-off frame and I believe listed in a mag way back when.

Yeah, as said already, the tell for me was the steel frame; you can tell by how small (diameter) the rear triangle tubes are. The headset is also another giveaway. The rest falls into place. But seriously, who's going to pay that price for an XXTeam anyhow?

Don't be Manbeer'ing the CudaHeads - $1 (igloo)
That's right. Don't be Manbeer'ing the CudaHeads with your cheaply upgraded Barracuda bicycle, Johnny. It takes more than a decal to make a Dos Equis team bike. Your bike was a basic $300 Barracuda when it was new and worth about $125 now. Someone may have stuck that decal on it and ripped you off, but it does not give you the right to rip the next guy off. I know you are seeing these posts, so you might as well update your ad with the correct info and get real..
