        According to the Registry the 4 convertibles made in 1966 were
marketing test cars for future Shelby American production.   The 4
convertibles were used as factory pool cars then sold after 6 months as per
company policy through nearby Shelby dealers.

        I have heard other accounts of these 4 cars like they were given to
employees and friends but that is hear say and not reliable information.
The facts are that they are all listed and accounted for in the Registry.

Well, once again I am clueless, lol.  So, as another list member 
informed me as well. I was told that the 4 made by Shelby were never 
sold so they must have been  for friends and or prototypes?  Is a Shelby 
made by another company a Shelby? Even under license?   I suppose so. 
Like a Yenko Camaro I guess.   Is anything else known about the 
mustangs? Like why were they made?  Seems that 16 isn't enough for 
homologation purposes for racing so were they just for fun and sales?  
If only for sales, why so few?

I think maybe I had better stick to salt flats racing and my sunbeam, lol..

Thanks to all who corrected and informed me!
