Some of the prototype vehicles made by the manufacturers have trickled out over the years, and some of them were pretty amazing.
I knew one guy who got his hands on what looked like an ordinary 4-door sedan of the early 1960s. What made it special was that it was solid steel, with non-standard reinforcing that made it into a real tank. Oddly enough, its fuel mileage was not very much worse than a production model of the same type. The difference being that the engine was hand crafted, not mass produced, so had no tiny gaps by which a lot of efficiency is lost.
He was not a good driver, though, and got into four accidents in the time he owned the car, while seriously damaging the other cars involved, just scratched his paint.

I never heard of Carroll Shelby wanting to destroy Cobras. Destroying these cars would be almost the equivalent of destroying Cobras. As a car guy I am not happy.
