Shelby "owned" a lot of cars he never took/had possession of. His name was added to a lot of his friends cars to increase their value. The Imperial Palace museum makes it even more suspect as a personal car. The owner of the Imperial Palace owned Las Vegas Speedway along with the buildings/shops surrounding it they loaned Shelby a lot of money (said to be 4 mil). CS was buddies with the general manager who was the owners son in law. When his marriage went south he got canned from the Imperial and the owner called in CS's loan.
