Back in the 90's I and Gary Kadrmas(RIP) who owned CSX 2075 were taken on a private tour by an old Shelby employee that he knew of the entire facility in Vegas and one of the things being worked on was a Series I that was getting a full on Indy engine for one of the Indy drivers. In another building they had Series I engines stacked on pallets floor to ceiling. I think we were told over 150 of them.
Picture is of CSX 2075 and his clone Shelby at a gas station in Portland Oregon.

The whole Series 1 program would make a movie. CS finally cons GM out of parts for a new car. GM give him stuff from the dying Oldsmobile line. Cheap gauges switches etc from your grandmas olds look out of place and have a high failure rate. CS sees handwriting on wall and sells project to Venture Corp. 1999 certification expires with less than 1/2 to 500 planned cars built. Recertification is too costly so Venture decides to sell "component" (kit) cars with CSX5000 serial numbers. That also fails and CS buys the whole thing back for pennies on the dollar. He sells a few but their real value turns out to be a Series 1 in lieu of cash when he fires people and needs to meet their contracts. If you want one opt for a 17 digit VIN.

Years (decades?) ago I saw a presentation by someone involved with the program and still have the presentation paperwork. Exactly, a GM parts-bin build, Camaro and Alero.

As stated above, just did not capitalize on it's target and inspiration.
