I beg to differ:
Front end is later Contemporary tubular suspension
Aluminum panels were an extra cost option from Contemporary (listed in sales/build list), out of the three Contemporary 427SC's I've personally owned, two of them had this option.
Frame rails are indeed Contemporary design and layout, as are front knock off hubs (Contemporary spec), upside down door latch assemblies, transmission tunnel, dash, door hinges, short rollbar, carb linkage, even the VW brake reservoir. Plenty of other "tells" if you know what to look for
