I love a good mystery!

Searching the FAA database for Velocity XLs in the southwest US (based on the terrain in the photo), and eliminating the Lycoming and Continental engines (based on the distinctive exhaust system with 8 straight pipes!), I find 7 results. Two of these already have photos in the wiki. These obviously are not the plane we're looking for:

N6ZL                      VELOCITY XL RG                                FRANKS ERIK      AMA/EXPR

N84749                 VELOCITY XL RG                                HOSKINS LONNIE F                          AMA/EXPR


That leaves us with 5 candidates:
N248RB                WHARTON VLCTY XL RG                WHARTON WILLIAM R
N218XL                 Velocity XL FG   Henry Gary
N7618                   VELOCITY XLRG DONALD TOM
N7779X                 VELOCITY XLRG JEFFREY P SCHUSTER
N983SC                 ELITE XL-RG        STACK A JOSEPH III

Anyone have more information to add to our investigation? I don't have photos of any of the last 5 planes, so any images you can provide would be helpful, even if they're not our mystery 8-cylinder XL.

Anybody recognize this Velocity?  I'd like to include it on the Wiki, but it didn't seem to have a N number on it.
