Help me identify this Replica
Trying to help a guy out that bought a collection of cars from an estate.
Does anybody know what brand this replica is or who made it? http://i932.photobucket.com/albums/a...psa05d0b7d.jpg This is stamped on the chassis http://i932.photobucket.com/albums/a...psf5e3c434.jpg http://i932.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps6ff3c5f9.jpg |
Contemporary Classic...?

Yep - looks like a Contemporary.

Yes Contemporary. What are the details about the car?
|
I don't know... Interior looks good, but it has the wrong gauges, and it looks like the roll bar brace is different and the hoop is too far back.
|
Thanks for the input! I know nothing about contemporary classics, but I will pass the info along to the owner.
|
yes, I agree with all other posts as well, it appears to be a Contemporary. Does the owner have any other supporting documentation, IE. Registrations, titles, etc. What type steering mechanism, rear end assembly, torsion bars up front, etc.
|
Shorty rollbar and upside-down door latches are quick Contemporary giveaways without getting underneath.
It's also wearing those insert Centerlines too which place it in the late '80s/early '90s. |

The shorty roll bar is often an indication that there should be a soft top as well. |
Yep, I think you're right about the wheels.

An early Everett Morrison? The only thing that doesn't look right is the roll bar. EM's were taller. They had a round tube main frame and perky butt like FFR. Shell Valley's have the small roll bar. Just a guess.:D

I haven't seen the car in person. They sent me a picture of the rear end and it has inboard brakes and the rear brackets look like the ones on the contemporary cars I have seen in google images.
|
Jag IRS rear - still could be either an EM or Contemporary. A picture or details of the rear frame structure (kick-up) holding the rear suspension would cinch it either way.
