Could it be one of the 'Quarter Horse' Shelby Mustangs, a couple of prototypes of which were built in the late 1960s before Ford pulled the plug on them in 1970?

A picture of one is below and it has some similarities to the puzzle car, which does look to me like some kind of Mustang prototype, but perhaps a Mach 1...

Yes! It is combined of two words. One of them describes body type.

No. Unfortunately it is much much more obscure.

Is it a coupé, which is then part of the car's name?

No x 2, but coupe is indeed the second part of the name.

OK, so the first part of the word is:

Not a name that has been used by Ford on any other car, which rules out names like Galaxie or Thunderbird
Not an animal, so that rules out anything like Mustang
Not a place, so that rules out anything like Milano or Monaco
Not space-themed, which rules out anything like Venus or Zephyr
Not Latin/Italian so it's probably English
Not a person's name, so rules out anything like Edsel
Not related to speed so that rules out any words like Jet
Not a bird, so anything like Eagle is ruled out
Not a body type as the other part of the word is already that.

What's left? A made-up word or one that would be in a dictionary, like Excel for instance?

Not an artificial word. It is a proper noun.

A car-related word or something common, like Super (hence Ford Supercoupé)?
