Decipher data plate for me?

Contemporary plate says"3131" in bottom right. Ford plate says 12J (I think) under date

Can you get another picture from an angle that doesn't put most of the info in shadows? Flash will wash it out. Try to get natural light straight on.

Yes, another decent photo would help.

Did you look at your photo before you posted it?

3431 are the last four on the contemporary tag, should be CCX before that, may be one other number, but even manipulating with photoshop, I am unable to reveal what it may be, if at all. Forget about the Ford "warranty only" door data tag below it as it has nothing to do with the car it is attached to at all.

Yes, I looked at the photo before I posted it. First off, the photo is from a seller, I have requested a clearer photo, second, until this morning I didn't know that the mostly blacked out part of the photo is the most important.

Thanks for trying, I didn't know the most important part of the photo was blacked out. I have requested a clear photo from seller, thanks.

But be reminded that the ford tag is something someone attached because it looked cool. It could just as well have been a serial number plate from a 747. That wouldn't have made it an airplane.

Got a better pic. Number is CCX-3-3431 , What can this tell us?

That you have the tag for a Contemporary Cobra, chassis number CCX33431 and nothing else.


Bill

PS: As a word of caution, I have personally seen two such Contemporary Cobra tags installed on Cobra replicas that were not Contemporary Cobras. Why or how remains a mystery, just like the Ford "Warranty Only" tag that is affixed to the bottom of the Contemporary tag with marine style snaps below it.

You would think there would be some sort of manufacture date on the plate but I guess not.

12 units away from my cobra. More than likely a late 80s early 90s build.

You would also want to confirm the stamped vin number on the frame just behind the drivers side front wheel just inside the rear upright control arm support.
