No, the womp wah womp womp wah sound did not come from Charlie Brown. It came from his elementary school teacher, who was always off camera. It was usually in response to one of Charlie's lame excuses. So, your point is well taken.

Thor Maine,

Rumor has it you sold the 427 Chevy powered Contemporary and are buying a proper 427 Sideoiler powered ERA. Perhaps your subconscious made you do it to right a wrong from your past.

Oh I'm sure you can give us an approximate number. I'll take you at your word.

What was the selling price? Come on let's have it.

Thor, just make up a lie and tell Evan you cleared, say... $23,400 in profit -- yeah, that number has the "ring of truth" to it. Evan will never be the wiser. Just tell it like you mean it. C'mon Thor, you can do this.

Ahhh that's to bad. So the real question here is how does he know it would be faster than a Ford. Right now it's just a case of the "woulda, coulda, shoulda's"

You are also right about a replica; its a kit and that is it, but they can create profitable creations.

This will never settle the debate as you had what you had. But you never experienced the gas station chatter, ice cream stand or car show question.
"Is that a real 427?" They don't mean from GM.

It is what it is. Now you can relish in the memory of your old CCX car.
The one that got away ......... Tony would love this thread.


For the record this car was never on the road.
For the record my CCX was a driver and it was from the time I was 18 til I was around 30. I never titled it or registered it, I could not. I have talked about how (in my opinion) Peter Bayer was an A-HOLE. When I found out my car was one of the prototypes and why things just did not fit correctly and where all my "back ordered " parts were, I would call Peter and all I would get was "yes we are aware of that problem and have corrected it". I was asking so what are you going to do for me? I paid good money but got the screw. Monti Gotti was nice to me but Peter was a DICK and told me to F off and don't bother to call again. The kicker was he never gave me a "Manufacturer Statement of Origin. Without the MSO I could not get a title or registration. I even with a friends dealer plate drove it to the State Police barracks to try and get a field safety inspection to try and get a title. The trooper looked at it ( this was in the late 80's) said I needed 5mph bumpers and the sidepipes were an absolute NO GO, and they almost arrested me for driving it only with some quick talking did they let me trailer it home. After that I had it at a friends garage (Floyd Gray owner Grays Garage) and I took it apart and was going to do a better ,cleaner job on the rebuild after all I was only 15 when I was putting it together the first time. It was there a for over a year when Floyd died and his two brothers believed that anything in the shop was theirs and I got tied up in a Probate battle. Which finally ended over a year later when I had had enough. I beat the crap out of both brothers and locked them in the trunk of a car and took all my Cobra stuff , Lucky me no witnesses . And since it has been in my garage. You can see Floyd in my "album" he is the gentleman on the right with the hat. He was a good friend
