OK, let me translate my comment based on my odd sense of humor to something more direct.

I have a hard time believing that Excaliber was officially commissioned by Ford to build racing Cobra replicas. I believe that the nice old gentlemen that owns the car in question may have embellished the story of his car a bit. Some of us on this forum are used to being sold some snake-oil stories, and that claim about Excaliber just sound like another such story.
I thought they made fancy old fashioned Mercedi's out of big Ford Barges. Sorry, not meaning to be snarky but just sayin'. I haven't heard of them in any other venue.
(EDIT) I wrote without researching the topic, some years ago a friend of mine had a replica of a antique car (I think Mercedes) he called it an Excaliber. It was based on some kind of huge production Ford. This lead me to my above comment,...for which I sincerely apologise.
