				So, When was your Contemporary Cobra produced
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		Trying to date a "Vintage" Contemporary Cobra.....Current owner purchased it used, so the date of production in regards to the  chassis is in question, and I am trying to help out......In response, please list your chassis #, and when it was originally produced, so I can narrow down the year.......... 
 
 
Thanks in advance....... 
 
 
Yours In Fords, 
 
Bill S. 
 
PS: JM, any luck with "da mechanic"....Da bunnies want to know..........

		Hey Ron, 
  Yes, I saw that thread when I was doing an archive search this afternoon. Was looking to get more Contemporary owners to chime in that have cars built after 1992, but before the company was purchased by Burtis (date??) ........I do know this was a coil over F&R car, so that dates it even later than 1992.....Just trying to pin it down in the chronological order of life at Contemporary......
 
Yours in Fords,
 
Bill S.

		Bill, 
  Mine is 3041 and was built in '83. It sounds to me like alot of the earlier ones have since been converted to coil overs up front so that may not be a dead giveaway for '92 and later but it is a good assumption.
 
Good luck, 
 Dan

		My Contemporary is Serial Number CCX-3-3647 and was shipped on 6-11-91. Hope that helps. 
 
By the way , it is a 1991 and it has front and rear coil over setup and was done that way at the factory. I believve that it was one of the very first "X" braced front frames that they shipped.
