I'm looking for a contemporary cobra hood
Hello. I own a Contemporary Cobra in Japan.
I searched in Japan, but I can't find it. Someone posted a hood on a thread, but do you know how to import it to Japan? I need help from real American Cobra enthusiasts. |
Your best bet is to find someone with a Contemporary in Japan and pay someone to take a mold and part from it. That process will probably be worth more than USD $3000.
Alternately (and cheaper), find a Superformance in Japan and compare the basic dimensions. It might be close enough to be adapted. With a little luck, Superformance might sell you one. I wonder whether there are any panel-beaters in Japan that could make an aluminum one... Good luck. |
Alloy is the way to go! Shipping of the hood will far exceed the part $
Alloy in country better and cost effective. |
Off on a tangent here…. are there many other Cobra replicas in Japan?
Good luck with the hood search. Cheers! Glen |
My car went to Japan.

Contact Maurice at Unique. He might be able to give some advice. I also have a friend who owns wipe of an original but he's a little busy.

Just because I'm curious, do you know that CCX number for your car?

How did this work out?
I do recall a chat with SPF where I found out that CCX 3080 was indeed used to build the first SPF cars. So those hoods could very well be the same. IF it's an old SPF. They changed a bit over time. But perhaps the hood didn't? It's a long shot to compare the two. I sold my CCX moulds (made in 2002 from CCX 3080) to Durban and somebody there would have to fit a hood made from my old mould into a SPF... Easier to find a SPF hood in Japan, I suppose. Surely though, somebody in Japan can make you one from aluminium to fit your car. |
