Even though I couldn't get this one, I enjoyed trying and it's good to learn what it is!

Thanks Michael

A shot of the rear would have made this a LOT easier to find!!! At least I would have known it was a Ford!

The rear bumper treatment in profile is very evocative of period Mustangs, and the overall profile is similar to the Ford-powered Lola Mk6 GT, forerunner of the GT40...both pretty good hints.

I'd seen the thing not too long before on Mac's Motor City Garage, so this was easy.

It was the Lola GT look that pointed me in the right direction as well.  A brief look for a little-known road-going Lola prototype and then I started on Ford concept cars, beginning in 1966...

best,

The rear bumper is from 1965 Mustang
