"When these cars were originally sold... were they sold through the Ford Dealerships?"
Yes, a select few. There's a photo of Shelby walking a new owner through the paces of one someplace, but other high end dealers did sell a car or two. However, I don't think they were marketed particularly well, especially taking into account the MSRP of roughly $17,000 when a Mustang started at around $2500.
