I came across these while cleaning out my Uncles attic and wanted to share with the group. The last pic is of some clear stickers and a stub from a race at MIS in 68’

I’ve already posted them on the GT 40 forum for the guys over there.

I'm not sure what the black two door is, but it's a great looking car.

Bordinat designer for Ford did this alternate body for the Cobra, Bordinat Cobra CSX3001 design study. There were two cars one was the Cougar II, the other was a convert not sure what the other name was or which was which.  Jeff Burgy long time (SAAC member) knows about the cars.

The Cougars at a recent show, I think there was a thread on forum 1 about these two cars, by some one here who was involved with them ?  Might have been Jeff Burgy as mentioned by JD.

It was quite small compared with the other two, in this photo taken at Ford Styling.

Yes, it was Jeff Burgy who confirmed the identities of both Bordinat cars. The red Cougar II is Cobra chassis CSX 2008, while the light green car os CSX 3001.

Hello all. While digging thru the attic again,  I was able to find another stack of old ford racing pictures from the 60's timeframe.. Maybe some of you history buffs will be able to identify some of the cars and people in the pictures.
