The condensed story I have heard is, Shelby got two Corvette chassis from GM and sent them to Italy for custom bodies. Top GM brass found out and killed the project. Both cars were finished into running prototypes. One of the cars was auctioned at a US event a few years ago with lots oadvertisment as being the first Shelby sports car..................Dan
