I had a chance to visit with a guy in town who had some Cobra parts for sale. After visiting awhile, he opened his trailer and he had the most gorgeous Contemporary I've ever seen.
Red paint, 427 FE with turkey pan, Jag rear end and I believe front suspension, just about as original as an original CSX car if you know what I mean. It would be difficult to tell it from an original, with the knock off wheels and all.
The body was just gorgeous and amazingly solid. I still can't get over how nice it was. He said something about selling it in the near future. He also has a CSX frame and Shelby body going up for sale very soon- I believe with the CAV body. I was blown away at how clean the bodies are right out of the mold. They would take almost no blocking to get them to the primer/paint stage.
Very nice cars- a morning well spent IMHO- Bob
