Default History of that car-like to hear details

What happened to 101, 102 and 103 if they are saying this is the first?
Don't want to be stick in the mud but why doesn't anybody run it with the duckbill platypus nose of '64--that would be historically correct (if a little dangerous above 180 mph due to nose lift).
Finally does anybody remember how Greg Lonberger found it? I knew once, maybe he was doing work for Ford? I remember at the time Ford still had a few around, they gave one to Dean Jeffries, sold one to Gary Kohs for $1 dollar Not a misprint--one dollar, etc.
Also what did Gary finally sell it for? I think I offered him under $100K but he wanted enough to pay for all the land he coudl see in all directions from his cabin.I wasn't at his cabin so don't know how many miles he could see but by today's prices for GTs it was probably a deal.
Also I remember Edsel, son of Henry II, had a dark blue GT40 restored by dan gurney, wasn't that 104? He is not mentioned as a former owner of it. He traded it for a Ferrari that is now worth about $40,000 if he still has it.
Any tidbits from 104's early post ford ownership appreciated, don't care about its post restoration history; only the early days when no one wanted these cars.
