Contemporary 427SC
Guards Red, CSX31211812


Photo above is hotlinked (same view, MUCH larger size).

Contemporary Cobras were among the very earliest and highest-quality Cobra replicas. Manufactured by Contemporary Classic Motorcar Company of Mamaroneck, New York, they were built solidly and authentically from Peter Bayer's own CSX3045, incorporating the best attributes of the original's elegant and rigid 4" round-tube ladder frame, and employing a Jag/Salisbury IRS. The Contemporary Cobra earned a deserved reputation of being the most precise reproduction and one of the best-engineered of all the aftermarket serpents. Contemporary Cobras enjoy a level of collectibility status all their own.

above: rollbar and paint job closeup.

This car, still wearing original, excellent condition 1982 paint by David Patridge is a fabulous example of a great re-creation in excellent condition. My ancient Kodak digital camera is incapable of adequately capturing its terrific paint job (the rollbar photo above does the best job). This is a nice-driving and breathtakingly original-looking and ready-to-roll Cobra.
