September '70 Mustang clay model - '71 Mustang meets Vega?

I refer to this, specifically:

It looks as if a Mercury (Ford) Capri had a torrid affair with a Chevrolet Vega - and as frightening as that may sound, the result looks quite fantastic (though the '68 concept clay model for the fastback is without parallel - it's stunning: http://shnack.com/gallery/photo/139/)

Haven't found the slightest backstory on this particular clay design online; would anyone happen to have insight on it? Given the date, I would be very surprised if it was a concept for the 2-door hardtop, given that the roofline of the Shelby prototype from December 1968 is almost bang-on identical with the production '71:

P.S.: Would anyone happen to know the source of these photos? I'm trying to track down pictures of the '74 Lincoln clay model visible behind the Mustang II prototype in this shot: http://shnack.com/gallery/photo/113/#block

These pictures came from Ford's Design studio. There are many copies on ebay all the time from different sellers.

The first one, yes. The second one has a bit too much George Barris going for it in the front end.

It's ugly enough that they should give it to GM and tell them that they've got a new "Stingray."

Good to know; I'm after some design studio pictures of the prototype '74 Lincoln behind one of the Mustang II models.
