Jac Mac, you are right, there is a picture of this car in question in Wallace Wyss`s book "Shelbys Wildlife" on page 72.
I just had a look, it is a small picture in b/w, i did,nt even notice it when i first read it, shame on me

.
I wonder if Shelby Mechanic John Olsen had a hand in building it as he did with the Willment Coupe.
Perhaps Historybuff can shed some light on this?
