Looks like a one off customized job |

Fairly small (maybe European or J oily bits, not US??), apparently no hood (also here /vehicle_693471-Plymouth-Belvedere-1968.html ), windscreen too big for rest of styling. Dashboard here /vehicle_693465-Chrysler-Newport-1962.html |

I made a quick search on the net for 'us "OZX 971"' and found this Link to "newspaperarchive.com" where it for OZX 971 says 1963 Chevrolet Corvair. This might be a match, also when looking at the instruments Link to "bringatrailer.com" . I haven't found the body maker yet. |

I replaced the pic with an earlier closer-up shot; the plate number is actually 'QZX 971'. |

@achiu31: Are you sure it's a Q? I haven't found any US Q plate that doesn't have a distictive line within the "O", like here http://www.15q.net/us3/ma78.jpg . What state is this? -- Last edit: 2014-04-08 21:43:48 |

Looks more like OZX 971 |

'60s California plates had a "Q" with a very small stub at the bottom; that was enlarged late in the run. As for the car, it looks very familiar but I can't quite place it. The vent windows are from a '62-'64 Corvair convertible but I don't think it has a Corvair drivetrain. -- Last edit: 2014-04-12 20:58:05 |

Rear engined Corvair oily bits would be difficult task to re-engineer for front engine (although flat-6 would have centre-of-gravity advantages if hooked up to different drivetrain??). |

Looking at the wheels, I'd say it's Jaguar-based. |

There's a bit of a Jensen-Healey look about it |

It looks like a Alfa Spider 1600 crossed with a Corvette C2. Shall we just list it as custom build? -- Last edit: 2014-10-26 10:46:16 |

what a fascinating car unbelievable that it's Unknown |
◊ 2020-04-26 01:10 |
I feel like I've seen this somewhere before. |

CougarTim, does the car remind you of Ford-XP Bordinat Cobra? its similar and is puzzling however not exactly the same... I can't find anything closer than this, but may be related in a way? -- Last edit: 2020-04-27 14:10:41 |

The mystery car is the Concours Mk1 .Its one of 3 designed by Actor Dean Fredericks with Ford based mechanicals. |
◊ 2022-02-19 01:07 |
Some more info from here : Is it correct to call it Concours with "USA" as the "model" name ? Also not sure how to type "MkI" in the Mk field so that it would read "MkI" (like here, for example) as opposed to "Series I", which sounds a bit odd for this car, given that it probably never had any other successor like MkII or MKIII ? -- Last edit: 2022-02-19 01:17:26 |

I would put USA Mark 1 in the model name. I don't think "mark 1" had anything to do with versions...It actually sold a few days ago, though heavily modified nowadays: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1963-concours-usa-mark-1/ |
