I should mention that Mustang #1 got away from Ford Motor Company, having been sold to a airline pilot in Newfoundland.
Ford subsequently approached him about getting the car back and the deal was consummated when they gave him a newer model Mustang in exchange. K

Former GM exec and Corvette luminary John Heinricy has both Grand Sport #1 and #2.
We were at a GM show one time where John had brought #2. Some wise guy leaned over and, seeing the VIN, said "...I wonder where #1 is? (ha ha)" John said, quietly, "I left that one in the barn today". K

My dad and I were visiting with the lady across the street and, as it often does, the subject turned to cars. "I know the guy that has the first Viper. In fact, he has two of them". Dad and I looked at each other with that "ok - here it comes..." look. "Tom Gale" she said. "I was a friend in High School and still am good friends with Tom Gale". "Oh" we replied". "Yeah - that would be right". Tom was the head of Chrysler design at the time, and responsible for the K car, the mini van redo, and the Viper. We've known Tom from back when he used to pump our gas at the local Shell station. K
