No it is not. That was the stunt car. This one is the hero car that has been in the same family for 45ish years.

Worse. New Jersey.

Imagine being able to spend that kind of scratch on a car that you'll likely never drive, it'd drive like a car from the 60's if you did, and it's probably not the only million dollar vehicle in a rather large garage.

I got to see that car in person last spring when it was living at the Lemay Museum.

The plaque got me curious, and the Shelby Daytona coupe is #1 on this registry, probably my all time favorite classic.
