Default That's a tough one......
Denny,

Since the records don't really exist anymore (Burtis didn't even want them!), I think the only way to determine is one of the following:

- Look up serial number through DMV to determine the first year it was regeistered.

- Find other Contemporary owners with 'near' serial numbers and determine through them.

- Does the car have a coil over or torsion bar front end? I believe Contemporary switched all cars over to a coil over front end in 1992.

I know the lead mechanic from the Contemporary factory and if it was a factory built car, there is a slight chance he may remember it, but that's highly doubtful.
