The oil pan you are looking for is the one pictured by shelbydoug. This pan was sold by Ford as an accessory beginning in about 1963. It was targeted toward what was then called the "Fairlane V8" (260/289) and in 1964 was part of a lineup called "Cobra Kits". In '65 they became known as "Total Performance Kits". See the attached ad.

Ford used "Total Performance" as an advertising byword in 1964. After Ford ceased using it, a company that produces street rod parts picked it up and the phrase has since become primarily associated with that company.

Shelby American also offered a line of performance parts, their catalog used only the word "Cobra" These were later rebranded CS Shelby after the Cobra name was sold  to Ford in 1969.

Although not installed in production, this pan is sometimes referred to as the "Roadster Pan" as it more readily fit between a Cobra's frame rails than the Mustang T pan (although the T will fit - but tightly).

I have an original one of these pans for sale. It is in very good condition. PM or text me for details.
