It may have been real. No one will ever really know since the other party is silent. In any case, when CSX2000 went to auction the mythical buyer(s - supposedly there were multiple 8-digit offers over the years) were not present. The car was sold to Greg Miller (Larry H Miller's son) and resides in the Shelby American Collection museum in Boulder, CO.

Shelby American was not involved in the sale. The car was sold by Carrol's estate.
