Appears to be a small block powered '67 Cougar.

It's a 65 Mustang according to the Grill, Grill Emblem, Head Lights......

It's a rare 64 1/2 Shelby.  P/S, P/B, A/C and generator

They are working on staging a photo for a magazine article. I forget where it appeared. It's not a Shelby - no export brace.

A little hard to tell on my phone but it does not look like the upper shock mount is a Mustang one,  I also thought Cougar.

Still has the pony on the grille. This is probably some magazine editor's car that he's scamming parts for or it could be Shelby's secretary's car.

I think you are correct. The hood bumper threw me off. It's right where it should be.

Too early to be a Cougar - 65s in background......

Plenty of early features: the generator and power steering reservoir location stand out the most.

Photo at a dealer who sold hop-up parts?

Note white Mustang right behind the first car, with steel wheels/ no covers.  And another white '65 behind that.

Coincidence that the mechanics are dressed in white,  like Shelby's guys?

Hmmmm.
