Any Contemporary Classic owners in Canada?

[SunDude]

Are there any Contemporary Classic owners up here in Canada? Please chime in if you have one and tell me how long you've owned it, what you like/dislike about it, and so on.

I came across this article in Mustang Monthly about CCX-3-3327 which is owned by Reg Hoole of Vancouver Island -- http://www.mustangmonthly.com/featur...ica/index.html. Don't know if he's a Club Cobra member or if he still has this car.

You may be one of the few?

I checked the member list for this forum and came across seven Contemporary Classic owners -- cobraguy (Vancouver BC), Denis_Bouchard (Halifax NS), karen_ellis (Comox BC), MIKE_SCHULZ (Comox BC, CCX-3-3627), my_1st_cobra (Oakville ON), racingaround (Halifax NS), and summerfunk (Vancouver BC) -- but they don't seem to be too active here lately.

Maybe they're too busy enjoying their cars... Hopefully.

Anyways, would love to hear from you about your CCXs.

UPDATE: I've since heard from two of the above-mentioned owners. You'll be glad to know that both are still thrilled with their CCX Cobras and neither is willing to part with them. That's a terrific testament to these cars, I'd say.

Thanks for chiming in, Mike. How long until your car is on the road?
