contemporary is, unforunately, long gone...shut the doors a few years ago. Their molds are cast about the industry.

Brian,

I have a Contemporary Classic and have not seen many others around the area. Let me know if you want to take a look see some time I'm just a bit up I-5 from you, I'll probably see you around either way.

The Contempary cars I have seen have been very very NICE cars. Looks like they competed with ERA and SFP at the higher end of the market. I am new to this, so did they just not sell many cars?

Contemporary was around for almost twenty years, as I recall. The founder sold the company a few years ago, and the new owner failed within two years, I believe.

Built correctly, they were and still are among the best. FFR has had the tooling for several years, but has done nothing with the 427 S/C that I'm aware of. At the same time, FFR is going forward with the Ferrari replica Contemporary had started on.

Who is FFR? I need a new body for my 1983 kit.
