Some good info for owners of Contemporary Cobras
 
I found this thread under a different topic. I thought is might be appropriate to post it here.

Speaking of Contemporary Cobras...
 
I have original sales literature (full color glossy brochure, price sheets for all possible flavors and options, nice letter from Peter Bayer, a C&D article by Patrick Bedard about CC Cobras that Peter would send customers, etc.) that I've kept in a file for the last 20+ years from when I tried to buy a CC Cobra. If anybody is really interested in it, I can put it all in a hi-resolution PDF and set it up via high speed FTP download for you. But don't make me go to the trouble of doing it unless you're seriously interested in it.:D:rolleyes:

Done. If you click here: http://contemporary-classic.kickme.to it will open an FTP window in your browser. Just click on the files you want. If you have an ftp client integrated in with your browser, it should work as well. I'll leave this account up through the end of the year and then kill it. So if you're reading this thread and the year is 2008 or later you'll need to send me a PM to get the files.

Thanks I appreciate it. I already downloaded everything.

That account will poison-pill itself on New Years so it will be available until then for anyone else that's interested. Taking a look at some of the names on the "Authorized Dealers" list will no doubt bring back some fond, and perhaps not-so-fond, Cobra memories. Burt Kerns, for example....:)

Thanks. Bedard's article about kit cars (really Cobras) being like malaria rebounding is right on point. That's probably why I saved that crap for over 20 years!:LOL:

Bonus Material
 
That CC literature wasn't the only stuff I saved. Here is a Car & Driver I saved from the day it was delivered to me in February, 1970. I've put it in the ftp folder in hi-def. It is one of my favorite Cobra articles. Since everybody seems kind of bored, here's something fun to read. Maybe I should post this as a new topic instead of hiding it here.

I think February of 1970 is when I said "One day I'm going to have one of those for my very own.":)

Thanks Pat!

Thanks Pat, mine is being delivered this sat. These articles will make a nice brochure to go along with the car. The guy i bought it from is sending down a whole book and the car but I printed these out in case he didn't include them with the car.

Pat -

Thanks for posting the stuff to an ftp. I still have mine, too (the Contemporary literature packet AND the C&D magazine) - stashed away somewhere here. They'll be a lot easier to find on my computer, now.

Contemporary made a beautiful car - it was the only other make I seriously considered before making my decision to go with an ERA.

regards,

Jeff

Jeff, both are a great choice, especially the later version Contemp. One of the car mags did some side by sides with an original cobra and it came out looking and performing very close to the original.
