This kinda got me thinking? What kind of cars did he leave behind? Anyone ever seen his personal collection?

I'm fairly certain he still had the first Cobra. I hope it is in a trust and not tied to the company, pretty significant automobile and extremely desirable to a collector. No telling what if anything he might have still owned.

I might sneak over for the 10am to noon shindig.

Yep - he still owned it. I was at the Shelby plant a few days after he passed and one of the workers said he'd been offered $25M for it a few years back, but said it wasn't for sale.

He had sold off some other rides (like his 69GT500 'vert) in recent years.
