Mustang not shelby but different

Seeing Coralsnakes link......the Mach2 looks like the Intermeccanica in the front and side with a Lotus Europa in the rear

According to the awesome book "Kar-Kraft, Race Cars, Prototypes and Muscle Cars" by Charlie Henry the Mach 2 was built on the frame of a 1967 Mustang convertible (tho from what I can see of it it looks like a earlier Mustang?).

Below is a scan of a photo by Jim Mason from Henry's book - lots more info on this and all the other cool and wacky stuff built at KK.

If you don't have a copy, run out and get one.

Great book!!!

Love the blue dots.

[gt350shelb]

definitely a 65 or 66 body

[Coralsnake]

Agreed, a 67 would be too late

Yes 64-66 body panels (quarters, B pillar, cowl side to mention a few)  with some non- Mustang panels ( such as forward drivers side inner fender panel) and possibly a seat pan similar to the two seater prototypes like the Mustang I. Though it does have what looks to be R model wheels and blue dots

Cool look but there were so many attempts and concepts in the early years as we have seen.

Saw this while thumbing through my May 1967 issue of Road & Track.

So the vette was late on the mid engine scene then????LOL

And that back end is ugly on the Vette...

Looks like the Opel GT stole the front fender but removed the vents:

The red Mach II street concept car was built on a 67 convertible body, not an early body, the white competition version was built separately at Kar Kraft on a different chassis.

The case about the early chassis is still cold and not closed. 3 prototypes are mentioned in early documents.
