Shelby Ford Cougar II Concept
Shelby Ford Cougar II Concept by DTOX
—- Prop version is included —-
Ford’s styling department built two concept cars on Cobra chassis in the mid-1960s. Both were designed by the head of Ford Styling at that time, Eugene Bordinat. One was a roadster which came to be called the ‘Bordinat Cobra.’ The other one, a coupe, was called the ‘Cougar II.’ Despite the nominal publicity, not much was known about either car beyond the fact that they were concept cars, never intended for actual production.
The cars disappeared for several years. After a number of internet searches over a period of years, both cars were found in a warehouse in Detroit. Both cars were basically intact. Many mysteries developed regarding the history of these vehicles and numerous trips to the warehouse were made to inspect the vehicles to verify they were the original cars.
