Don't know what he has planned for them, but this month's Car & Driver has
a nice article on him, and the extra chassis are shown stacked to the
ceiling in one photo. So yes, they exist. Looks like he's going to try and
build "new" 1965 Cobras out of them, however, so his grandkids may get
stuck with an entire car instead of a nice bare frame. :-) From what I
remember of the article, though, he has only banged out one or two cars
to date, which are retailing for about $500,000 apiece; less if you omit
floormats and Extended Service Plan.
