For what its worth, below is the "lineage" of the origin of many Cobra bodies that I have uncovered in my research.
Kirkham 427 = CSX3104
Hi-Tech Motorsports = CSX3190 (fiberglass bodies), CSX3002 (aluminum bodies)
E.R.A. 427 = CSX3252
E.R.A. 289 = CSX2345
Contemporary Classic Motor Car Company (aka CCX) = CSX3045
Superformance = According to Superformance.org, the original Superformance molds were made off a Contemporary Classic Motor Car Company (CCX) kit. Jim Price of Hi-Tech Automotive (not to be confused with Hi-Tech Motorsports) measured the Contemporary Classic Motor Car Company body (which was based off CSX3045) and found differences from side to side, which is not uncommon for a hand-built, British vehicle. Jim “corrected” these discrepancies and this became the basis of the Superformance body. So, Superformance is also based off CSX3045 in a second-hand fashion.
Factory Five Racing (FFR) Mark IV: combination of CSX3042 & CSX3035 (Dick Smith’s #198).
Which Cobra did Hurricane use for their body molds?
