Buy the CCX,

Contemporary driveline parts are via Jaguar, my power is Ford, and body is accurate enough to buy accessories from ERA, Cobra Restorers, etc...... I have yet to be in a bind without direction. Worse case the cars are so simple you can just update. Second, this sight is a resource for any problem you might face.

FYI, my Ford dealer will not touch the car. Like an old Harley, it is due to Toploader and Cleveland. No doubt FE's will be similar issue. Just find a good Ford rodder, Jaguar restorer, or reference specialty places like David Kee and FE Specialists. If you bought a 1960's car you would have the same issues.

I would like to put together an owners resource guide for Contemporay Classic guys. Wouldn't it be nice to have owner names, email, phone numbers, and details of cars in binder form? If you think so, please PM me information and I will begin the task. May take some time but it might be fun for all of us.

Best of luck on your CCX quest!
