In 1979 I had saved up a bunch of money and wanted to buy myself a hot car. I had been driving nothing but 60s Cougars and Mustangs and was looking for something over the top. I was really considering a Porshe 928. A girlfriend of mine called me up and said she saw this hot Cobra kit at the Coliseum in NY so I went to check it out. It happened to be a Contemporary. From that moment I knew that that was the car I was looking for. I spend the next 6 months researching the kits that were available (there weren't that many) I won't go into them. For my own reason I chose the Contemporary and placed my order for a Deluxe home builders version. I had to do alot of fabricating and tweeking but I never regreted one minute spent working on the car. I use to wake up from dreams over driving it before it was finished. That was 1980. In the next 27 years my had ups and downs. I was forced to let it sit for years at a time for various reason the last one being 2 years ago it was in a flood and I basically had to rebuild it. I myself would have never regeted or looked back at any of my misfortunes just used them as learning experiences.
Are these cars for everyone? No way, that is what make this a special group but some people need to find out for themselves.
All I know is even when the car was out of commission all Ihad to do was go out to the garage it it could make a bad day better. I will always own my cobra until I can't turn the key anymore!
