Darrow and his son Randy would later confirm the Green Hornet’s identity with Fred Goodell and restore it using a scratch-built IRS built to Goodell’s specifications along with a Holley ProJection EFI system (Goodell rounded up some components of another Conelec EFI system for the Darrows).
Note the "some components", and the mention of the Projection system... been researching this car for a few years and while documented info is scarce (opinons are a dime a dozen) never seen anything to indicate an original Conelec system is currently on the car, but that parts were "available" and displayed beside the car, but maybe that has recently changed to bump auction value...
It was restored in the mid 90's by Martin Euler and he fabricated an IRS, no true engineering drawings were available (as far as I've seen noted) as it was a one-off, what-if, prototype and the restoration came up with something "close". Euler then subsequently tried to market the setup, not many takers.
As it was a prototype formal records of all the aspects of what was done were not kept, a bunch of motor-heads at Shelby with a really cool new toy to tinker with.
The thought that is was built on a line to some specific standard is proposed by some, but I'm not buying it as once it hit the Shelby shop who knows what they really did to it... I'd bet it went through many "hey, I've got an idea..." undocumented changes while at Shelby...
Some interesting info here...

If I win the Lotto before the auction I may make a bid... ;-)
A true piece of automotive history.
