Any Contemporary Classic owners in Canada?
 

Are there any Contemporary Classic owners up here in Canada? Please chime in if you have one and tell me how long you've owned it, what you like/dislike about it, and so on.

I came across this article in Mustang Monthly about CCX-3-3327 which is owned by Reg Hoole of Vancouver Island -- http://www.mustangmonthly.com/featur...ica/index.html. Don't know if he's a Club Cobra member or if he still has this car.

You may be one of the few?

I checked the member list for this forum and came across seven Contemporary Classic owners -- cobraguy (Vancouver BC), Denis_Bouchard (Halifax NS), karen_ellis (Comox BC), MIKE_SCHULZ (Comox BC, CCX-3-3627), my_1st_cobra (Oakville ON), racingaround (Halifax NS), and summerfunk (Vancouver BC) -- but they don't seem to be too active here lately.

Maybe they're too busy enjoying their cars... Hopefully.

Anyways, would love to hear from you about your CCXs.

UPDATE: I've since heard from two of the above-mentioned owners. You'll be glad to know that both are still thrilled with their CCX Cobras and neither is willing to part with them. That's a terrific testament to these cars, I'd say.

Thanks for chiming in, Mike. How long until your car is on the road?
