The Sunbeam Tiger was successful, same concept, but does it qualify as a "collaboration" when it's buying someone else's car and (essentially) tuning it? Does RUF or Brabus or (old) Abarth count as a collaboration? That's basically all Shelby is, a factory supported tuner. If GM had given him the money I'm sure we could all go out and buy Shelby Camaros today.
Edit: Nobody mentioned Corolla/Nova
