1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe
This car is the first of just 6 built and is the only one left in original, unrestored condition. In 2014 it was named IHMA “Car of the Year”, and was the 1st car on HVA’s National Historic Vehicle Registry.

Car-Addicted wroteThe back story with Phil Spector and the woman he bequeathed it to is interesting. The car was not maintained, the exhaust was changed, and advertisements were painted on the sides. The woman who inherited it from Spector committed suicide by pouring gas on herself and lighting it. The daughter then inherited and the car sat for some time before rescued.In your neck of the woods:

^^Correct.
The full story reported in Car and Driver 2001: "Death, Deception, and the $4 Million Cobra"

"The two cops who came upon the middle-aged woman in the last hours of her life, lying on the bridle path of a park in Fullerton, California, an hour after sunrise, must surely have dreadful memories of her they'd like to forget."
"She lay on the path, naked, her clothes burned away, her body charred from her singed platinum hair down to her toes. She was tucked into one last fetal position. Nearby were two gallon jugs, one empty and the other half-filled with gas. It was Sunday, October 22, 2000."
"The cops thought she was dead. Then one of them noticed movement of her torso. She was breathing. He leaned down. Who did this terrible thing to you?"
"He could barely hear what she said: "Just . . . let me . . . die." Lying there, before the ambulance arrived, she made it known in whispers that she had done this to herself. She was angry at still being alive; to a cop's persistent questions, she twice spit out: "Shut up." She would not give her name."
