Ford XP Cobra (1965)
Also known as the Bordinat Cobra, the Ford XP Cobra was a one-off produced by Ford on a 427 chassis. The reason for this was Ford didn’t think a great deal of fit and finish of the cars built by Shelby and it wanted a car that would better chime with its mainstream models.
The XP Cobra followed the earlier Cougar II concept and was built by Ghia in Italy. It was a roadster with a removable hard-top and was shown to the public on a few occasions, but it then disappeared and rumour had it the chassis had been reskinned with a regular Cobra body.
