I attended the Shelby American Collection fundraiser on 3-Sep. Since the museum at the Miller Motorsports Park has closed much of the collection is now at the SAC. This includes the Miller GT40s. Along with J7, there are now 6 GT40's all nestled together here. The museum is also the place of residence of Carroll Shelby's original Cobra, CSX2000, which was recently purchased by the Miller family.

Unlike the rest of the cars, this particular one had no placard to give details. I'm trying to get more info.

The green GT looks to be an interesting car. It has the standard Mk 1 rear clamshell(not widebody), but a 68-69 front bonnet with the single scoop w/o divider like like LeMans winner 1075. I'll be interested in what you find out about it.
