[SCOBRAC]

Most ERA guys won't admit it but they wish they had gotten in when CC was still around.. Among the highest resale and best quality component cars around aside from the alloy cars. Anyone can buy an ERA given enough cash and or time. But there will be no more Contemporary's anywhere ever. Not even the old grouch can claim that.

Parts are parts. Most Cobra parts are replicating something else. Contemporary's mostly used Ford and Jaguar rolling stock and replicated or improved hardware. Look at a Shelby door hinge. Look at a CC door hinge.. You tell me who's is better.. Shelby hinges are made of stamped sheet metal, rough and unfinished. CC used mandral bent 1/2 tube steel.. welded and smoothed. Look at a CC tube frame.. Look at the others.. ERA does a nice job sure.. But Superformance, FF and everyone elses look like they were built in a welding class for 10th graders.. Not that they are all bad but time is money..

I think with the exception of ERA they are all in it for the money. Not that there shouldn't be money in anything done well. But that is why Contemporary isn't here anymore (among other reasons) . Carroll is back in it for the money... What else was the lawsuit about...

I backed into my deal on CCX-3152.. Call it luck, call it good carma. I wouldn't trade it for the next Kirkham or Shelby off the line. I have Contemporary photo's in my gallery as do many others. Bill Malone has maybe the nicest Contemporary I have seen. Search for his photo's. I think you will understand what I mean.
