Is there a Contemporary manufacturers plate on the car,or are we just relying on the hand made, hand stamped VIN tag?


So much left out in the wind, how about a file with documentation on the car?
Mr. Mustang,

Good question about the Contemporary vin. I was assuming Monster stamped their own crappy tag and "borrowed" the CCX vin. The chassis looks like a Contemporary frame, modified with added sub frame tubes to accommodate the aluminum body. It's pretty odd.

Have any of you ever seen a CCX with an aluminum rebody?
