Which original Cobra was used to splash your replica?

It was rumored that the Midstates body was the same as the contemporary. They sure look the same to me. Don't know if that means it was splashed from 3045 and/or the contemporary copy?

Also, didn't FFR buy contemporary's mold and use it for the MKiV? If so, the MKiV would be from 3045.

I've been emailing the previous owner of Midstates to see if I can answer your question, but so far it doesn't sound like the molds were taken from Contemporary Classics. I will post any updates I get.

My understanding was that FFR had acquired the 427 molds from Contemporary, but didn't use them for the MkI to MkIII cars. Can anyone confirm this?

Contemporary also sold a Daytona Coupe and a 289 FIA. The Daytona Coupe molds were acquired by Lesher Motorsports; does anyone know whether Contemporary had splashed an original coupe and, if so, which one? Does anyone know which 289 FIA they used?
