Ken,

For one thing if the body is fiberglass none of the originals were. They were all aluminum. Also they had the CSX numbers in several places, a couple of them kind of hard to find if you don't know what you are looking for. Have you tried a search for KCC Cobras? And what kind of engine does it have in it? Shelby only used 221, 260,427, and 428 engines in the originals.

Here is what one of the members of our site posted as he is in South Africa and one of our members found one some time ago and was asking about it.

Here in SA, there was a company called Kit Car Centre that produced both kits and completed cars for prospective clients. Sometimes these cars were/are referred to as "KCC" cars. Both Q and I have such varients. To my best knowledge, the company was liquidated about 5 years ago, and closed shop.

The easiest way to identify if it is a KCC, is to check the VIN or chassis number. If it starts with KCC, then it may have originated from South Africa, as I know that there were a few kits/cars that were exported to Europe and the USA over the years.

The chassis/VIN number was normally punched onto the middle of the front upper cross member, usually directly underneath where the header tank is fitted.

Thats the closest I can get to "KC Motor company", but some of my fellow country men might know better......x4e
