Hello, another new one here

Hi, I recently purchased a "project car" that has been stored for the past 8 years,from an estate along with a couple of trailer loads of related components. I like to think that I am a fairly accomplished builder as I have restored and still own a few old 50's vintage and older, rides. I have always wanted to build a Cobra and as fate would have it, ran across this particular unfinished project and couldn't pass it by. I pretty much recognize everything for what it is except for the fact that I have no clue to the body /chassis mfgr. and can find absolutely nothing in all the stuff I got to help identify it. Also, the Ford engine doesn't look like anything I have crossed paths with in years past. I was told by the seller ( who has no real knowledge of the equipment ) that the family told him it was a Roush engine. No knowledge of CID or anything. Years ago I was very familiar with mid 60's ford engines but this thing is strange. Sorry to be so long here but any Identification clues or links would sure be appreciated. I've been roaming around this forum for a few days and figured that I will probably need a lot of what it has to offer for quite awhile now.
Thanks, Ronnie

Oh ya, welcome

Welcome Ronnie.....some pics would be nice but in all of that paperwork you should be looking for an MSO number (manufacturers statement of origin ) without that you may have just picked up a whole bunch of paper weights.

Thanks for the replies. I made some headway today on tracking down a address I found on an old shipping box. Found a guy that was involved in the initial work done. It was Mfg. by Classic Roadster. The guy was able to tell me a ton of stuff about the engine, builder, and most of what I was looking for. DMV has assured me that titleing won't be a major issue with my bill of sale and some build documentation.
Thanks again, Ronnie
