Looking for a CCX
I am looking for a Contemporary, preferably with an FE or even a roller only. Priorities are great paint (some patina okay), a clean interior, solid running gear. The more authentic and period correct the better. I am ready to buy when I find the right car. Email me through Club Cobra.

Check with Danr55 on the AZ Forum. He's talked about selling his. Very early car, but in nice shape and has the required FE.

I found a CCX, should be here in a few days. If anyone is looking, I had located a 427 center oiler car, red with white stripes in the NE that is a hell of a deal from what I can tell. Ping me and I will give you the seller's info.

My new old CCX has arrived
Okay its here:
She's an old gal, CCX #151 built in 1983. Original paint and interior, currently has a 428 SCJ backed by a TKO550. I plan to run it as-is for a while and plant my side oiler in it when the weather warms up a bit (and after I finish outfitting my garage and unpacking all my tools and crap from the move). Along with the car are a ream of receipts from recent work done by Nick Acton to improve the car....floor-mounted pedals, proper engine mounts, Smiths gauges, CSX-height rollbar, Watts link, custom aluminum gas tank, the $$ investment that has been made into it is staggering.
Paint is pretty rough up close, some surprises there with a few starbursts I wasn't expecting. Interior is nicely worn, but hey it's 33 years old. Frankly, it looks like a real, unrestored car. It will be fun to race and play with and at some point I suspect I will start to restore it:
