Correspondence between George Haviland, John Breeden and Walt Taylor regarding the Ford XP Bordinat Cobra, December 1965
01
Artifact Overview
Created under Eugene Bordinat, director of Ford Motor Company's design efforts, the Ford XP Cobra proposal suggested a sleek new body for Carroll Shelby's Cobra sports car. The prototype featured the 289-cubic-inch V-8, but with room to accommodate the larger 427 engine. The XP proposal wasn't adopted, and Cobras continued to use British AC roadster bodies.
