Default CONTEMORARY YEAR

I PURCHASED MY DELUXE HOME BUILDERS KIT FROM VANCE
MORRISON, THE N.J. CONTEMPORARY DEALER IN JULY OF 1982.
CONTEMPORARY DID NOT HAVE CCX # AT THIS TIME. THE N.J.
DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE CHASSIS # WAS THE DATE IT WAS
MADE. EXAMPLE JULY 17 1982, WAS 071782. THE BODY ALSO
HAD A SEPERATE # ON A FOIL SQUARE, GLUED TO THE TOP OF THE FIREWALL BEHIND THE DASH.
CONTEMPORARY DID NOT OFFER ORIGIN OF MANUFACTURE PAPERS AT THIS TIME. WHEN TIME CAME TO TAG THE CAR, THE DMV INFORMED ME MINE WOULD BE THE LAST CAR TO BE TITLED IN MARYLAND W/O ORIGIN OF MANUFACTURE PAPERS. I PASSED THE WORD ON TO CONTEMPORARY. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE
COMPANY STARTED OFFERING CCX #'S AND PROPER PAPER WORK
AFTER THIS.

THERE WAS A REFENANCE MADE TO A REGISTERY FOR CONTEMPORARY CARS, HOW MUCH INTREST IS OUT THERE
FOR THIS?

DON.
