I visited the factory in 1984 at the invitation of Blaine Hobson who was the sales manager. Aurora had a very nicely finished product, but I thought some of the design decisons were "questionable".
The car did NOT use the Mustang II front suspension. The front setup was an amalgamation of "off the shelf" Ford parts including Granada control arms. I know this for a fact as Aurora sent me a list of part numbers so our dealership could quote them and possbly supply FoMoCo parts to Aurora.
They thought the C&C Yacht connection would put them over the top but never really found the synergy they expected.
