Surely it had some time as a regular GT 500 coupe before the modifications started. As in the supercharger installation for the Los Angeles Auto show.. It was sent to Dearborn to the styling center. Might not have ever gone back to California as the Airport plant was shutting down.
Let's hope somebody bricked it up into a wall like that short 65 Fastback protoype that came out a few yaers back.

Those cars rarely if ever got crushed. They would find a way to a local used car lot.
Now here's the thing with Shelby's before the '68 model year, if you removed the Shelby VIN tag, they would be identified by the Ford number.

Then it could have gotten sold and taken over to Windsor, Ontario? Lots of possibilities.
