The Contemporary Cobra has been characterized as being 'The closest to an original as a reproduction gets.'

The quality, engineering, fit, and finish on this Contemporary Cobra/CCX33308 is breathtaking. It exhibits 'the correct stance' and performs/behaves/handles precisely as you'd expect of an original 427SC. This Cobra has repeatedly been proven on the track at various SAAC events and driving schools. Titled 1966, 22,850 miles. At the time of building this Cobra, I was the SAAC Rep for SAAC Group Maryland. I had access to original Cobras to draw from to ensure its authenticity and period-correctness in every detail, large and small.
