Color combination?
Where was it sold out of?
Bolt on wheels or true knock offs? |

Car came from Oregon
Bolt on wheels

Contemporary Classics were designated CCX3-XXXX
That may be a state ID?

Pic of Vin plate (if it has one) would help as well.

What are your main frame rails made out of? Round tube, or square tube?
What rear suspension package do you have, straight axle, or IRS?
What makes you believe your car is a Contemporary?

Pictures of the chassis
Pictures of the engine compartment
Pictures of the trunk
Pictures of the interior
Did we mention, pictures go a long way to identifying the manufacturer of a particular kit car?

You do know that that is a novelty item and not a real vin plate, right? |

Frame rails are round tube. Rear end is Jaguar IRS.

That is only Vin Plate on car. I know it is not a real Cobra.

I would post pictures, but every picture I took is to large to upload! Update, pictures now posted.

Resize them. Front suspension torsion bar? Coil over?

You can copy paste a picture into a email to yourself. Then download it to a folder on your computer. Then upload that picture to your CC gallery.
