I never went on the Universal studios tour but someone who would recognize an Indy car if he saw one told me that, for awhile, one of the three Shelby Indy cars (he says three were built, not two) maybe without its gas turbine, was a part of a display you could see from this tour. I know movie studios sometimes buy cars for props that years later turn out to be worth money, just like some movie studio ordered several Cobra tube chassis for a comedy bodying them with antique car chassis, (Monte Carlo or Bust?). If the turbine was commercially available on aircraft (helicopters?) it's probably still available as surplus. I would like to see a Shelby Indy car running at Monterey--tho its exhaust might melt the fiberglass nose of the car behind it....

Of course it wouldn't be worth as much since it never ran Indy but even the DeTomaso race cars are worth something even if a lot of them never actually ran a race...
