Also, didn't FFR buy contemporary's mold and use it for the MKiV? If so, the MKiV would be from 3045.

I've been emailing the previous owner of Midstates to see if I can answer your question, but so far it doesn't sound like the molds were taken from Contemporary Classics. I will post any updates I get.
My understanding was that FFR had acquired the 427 molds from Contemporary, but didn't use them for the MkI to MkIII cars. Can anyone confirm this?
Contemporary also sold a Daytona Coupe and a 289 FIA. The Daytona Coupe molds were acquired by Lesher Motorsports; does anyone know whether Contemporary had splashed an original coupe and, if so, which one? Does anyone know which 289 FIA they used?
