Builder VIN Question

[hitechv]

Is anyone familiar with a builder that has a VIN starting with CPX? The car has knock-offs and a Jag rear but the dealer has no idea who the replica builder is. Older car. Any ideas?

Could be anyone with a set of stamps, no kit car manufacturer that I know of since 1981 has used a "CPX" for the start of their VIN's.

Round tube frame, square tube frame, 90" wheelbase?
Pictures of the engine compartment
Passenger compartment
Trunk
Body, suspension setup

We can then go from there.

Discussed this car with Peter P at ERA and Peter Bayer. Neither could ID it. Bayer said some short-term Midwest companies did knock-offs of Contemporary cars, he thought most likely that's what this car is. Has a lot of CC features, including their front end setup, jag rear, knock-offs and smiths gauges...but in other ways a mess. Not worth pursuing. Thnx.
