1985:

It will be going back for a few finishing touches and so that anyone who wishes to swing by and check it out can do so.

I am contemplating taking it to the all Ford show at Carlisle a couple of weeks from now, as well.

PS: Contemporary used to be in my back yard, first in Mt. Vernon and then in Mamaroneck. I visted both locations, numerous times in my quest for a Cobra replica. Over the years I got to know Peter Beyer and viewed the melt down of the company after Burtis took over as a tragedy.

The company was well respected when Peter and Monty Gotti were there. The history of what became of that company, though, is a lesson in how difficult it is to make a living in this industry and anyone who has any opinion to the contrary is sadly, misinformed. Margins are extremely thin (or nonexistent in economic times as we face now) and those who do stay in business are largely motivated not by the money but the shear love of what they are doing.
