These both started out as the exact same kit, I don't think there was much variation in the kit between Contemporary and Upstate's ownership. I seem to recall some suspension upgrades, but don't remember what they were....possibly the availabiliy of Watts Link and outboard rear brakes.

The higher priced of the two (on ebay) was purpose built for some vintage racing and I don't see any mention of AC in it. Not sure, but I believe I saw this car at SAAC 25 at LRP, got some video of it somewhere. I think this car was built at Contemporary, so he may be trying to recoup most of that 135K build number.

The CC member's Coupe (khrace) is a definite good buy. Looks like it has the all the bells & whistles and AC. I would buy this car in a heartbeat and have been thinking hard about it as of late. I think this guy built the car himself in his restoration shop, so that may explain the variation in pricing.
