Contemporary Classic Motor Car Company was started in 1978. The
founder of the company used his own original Shelby Cobra to pull
the molds for the Contemporary Cobra replica and makes for a
fantastic representation of the Shelby legend.
Presented in black with a black interior, this fine example is
reported as being built by the Contemporary factory with the full
leather interior as original and Wilton wool carpet, also as
original. As with the first Shelby's, it has a tube frame. The rear
suspension is "full Jaguar" and Wilwood disc brakes are on all
four-corners. The front suspension is coilover.
This Cobra is powered by a 428-cid Super Cobra Jet V-8 engine and
along with being well detailed in presentation, is matched with a
four-speed manual transmission with a blow-proof shield. Other
noteworthy features are Halibrand-style knock-off wheels, side
pipes, brake and gas pedal configured as original, convertible top,
rollbar, Mickey Thompson blackwall tires, quick-fill racing-style
fuel cap, sunvisors and twin racing-style mirrors. The interior is
further complemented by Auto Meter gauges, wood-rimmed steering
wheel and Simpson Racing seatbelts. All gauges, lights, wipers and
switches are also reported in working condition. This adds up to a
great opportunity to acquire a highly accurate re-creation of
Shelby's finest in turnkey condition. It's a fine device for
shrinking time and distance.
