No, they are all gone. Confiscated by the Feds during the raid on Unique Performance.
I know there were supposed to be 55 cars or so converted to the Foose Stallion. I had "heard" that approx 30 or so had made it out the door before the raid.
Don't know if that means those cars will eventually show up at auctions or what?

Anyway, well, you can read the article, but from what I understand the police raided orginally the shop, but I also heard there were some "higher" authorities that made visits to the shop after some of the evidence started unfolding.
Who knows for sure, except that the shop is pretty much done, and the cars have all be taken away.
Bad deal for Shelby and Foose, that's for sure.

Sad to hear. The foose stallions were pretty slick. Here's one from the April cruise last year. I know the owner would want me to mention that it snowed the night before and the salt and dirt on it was from the drive to the meeting spot.

I just saw one at Bob Bell Ford in Glen Burnie, MD. It was a convertible.

Foose helped design the Shelby GT500E in the movie "Gone in 60 sec" but I thought that Unique Performance was told to stop making the movie car becausethe VIN'son the 67-68model year stangs not being submitted to the State while they were buying up all the old ones and rebuilding from scratch! (you know the 150,000 dollar ones).....They are still making the Foose stallion stangs from what I have read!2 totally different things Correct me if I am wrong I just read the article in one of my stang magazines J
