Aluminium Bodied Contempoary

[Obsessive]

Hey Everybody! It's been a while since I was involved in this forum but I know there's a wealth of knowledge here and I hope to pick your collective brains to get some feedback.

I have a friend in San Diego, CA who is a recent widow. Her late husband had a pretty amazing Contemporary cobra and she has asked me to help her find a new home for it. I saw the car a couple days ago and only had time to confirm that it runs and gave it a brief inspection. I'm returning next weekend to get all the details but I wanted to ask what you all think it's realistic value might be. Here are the big details that I have confirmed:

• The car is a Contemporary frame, chassis # CCX 35001
• It was professionally built by Monster Motorsports
• It has an all aluminum body. (I crawled all over this thing and confirmed it is aluminum). I found no flaws in the body and the paint is very nice.
• It has a 427 Side Oiler motor with a Sidewinder 4v intake manifold and a single Holley carb. Not sure of the carb size yet.
• Smiths gauges
• Magnesium (not aluminum) Halibrand (genuine) pin drive wheels
• Jag rear end (not sure of gear ratio yet)
• Top Loader transmission

The motor runs great with strong oil pressure. However, he only ran racing fuel in it so I am guessing the compression ratio is pretty high. Sounds glorious. It's a California car, registered but currently in a non-operational status. I will confirm but I think its registered as a 1965 Ford.

I'll be posting more and with pictures soon. The question for you all is, what do you think it might be worth?

Thanks in advance.
