No, it doesn't have a history. The Children's Foundation is apparently misinformed about the car.
The car was built 5 years ago as a restomod by Barry Smith.
It says so in the Restoration Hardware piece on the car.
No history...it's a cloner.

...To commemorate this groundbreaking (the Green Hornet) Shelby, Barry Smith, owner of Legendary G.T., built a continuation Shelby EXP500 under license from Carroll Shelby Licensing using an original 1968 Ford Mustang. Painted "Stetson Black" in honor of the hat worn by the lanky Texan, the EXP500 CSS "Black Hornet" is identical to the Green Hornet just after it received disc brakes but prior to the Colonic EFI or independent rear suspension. Since 2003, the car has been owned by Mr. Shelby. The EXP500 CSS is a car so true to a specific moment in time, it's as if a time capsule was opened to celebrate American ingenuity at its best. It is truly the one, the only, the legendary EXP500 CSS "Black Hornet."
