The fiberglass that you see is the right side wall of the trunk dividing the trunk space from the wheel well as Contemporary's would have been built... someone as self-renowned that has owned, built, rebuilt, bought, sold, and/or brokered as many cars understands basic Cobra anatomy.
Not to stir the pot, but for the Contemporary's that I have seen, They have all had 3" radiused tubular rear framework w/watts linkage (maybe optional). This one from what I can make out in the photo seems to have a gusseted boxed tubing. Did they evolve over the years or could this be a different mfg. or a custom build that was sold as a Contemporary? May be worth running by Peter to see if it is one of his.

There are gracious winners, then you, yet you and I never had a bet, Mike and I did, and I paid off with 2 minutes of losing today, which Mike can confirm as the gracious winner he is. He knows, just as I do, that it was a fun bet between two people with similar interests, no ego, no attitude, just good clean fun.
Not all Contemporary Cobras had the WATTS link rear, Don Borders loved them and wanted all of the cars he built by Contemporary to have them.
As for the fiberglass matting, the jury is still out on what is being shown in the picture......
