A couple months ago I saw a Ford Focus ST with Shelby badging driving in Arlington, VA:
I ran the plate (Hawaii TJE927) and it returned a 2014 Ford Focus ST with some pictures from past sales. One of them showed a dash plaque with Shelby American serial 14SF0014, confirming it is a real Shelby Focus: https://mycarboard.com/product/awesome-2014-ford-focus-st-helby-focus-st-rare-limited-build-csm-14sf0014-with-several-upgrades-turbo-20172018/
According to articles from 2013 Shelby planned to build 500 of these, and that is the number that is frequently cited, but it appears actual production numbers were lower. Much lower. Mecum cites a source saying only 4 were built in 2014: https://www.mecum.com/lots/222533/2014-ford-shelby-focus-st/
This 2016 thread on a Shelby forum had the build numbers but the attachments don't work for me, leaving only the comments "really low number" and "VERY RARE": https://forums.shelby.com/topic/91145-shelby-focus-build-numbers-2013-14/
This could be one of the rarest cars I've ever seen.
