CCX-33928 is a Contemporary Cobra, the most respected name in the reproduction Cobra market for nearly 20 years, produced by the legendary Contemporary Classic Motor Car Company of Mamaroneck, New York. It has a reputation of being the most precise rendition and the best engineered of all the aftermarket Cobras. Contemporary Cobras enjoy a collectibility status all their own. I have had three Contemporary Cobras, each built by the premier and respected builder Don Borders [of Palm Springs, California; when this exquisite serpent was built, Borders was the largest dealer of Contemporary Cobras in the nation] and this one is by far the very finest of all. It is one of the most-readily-recognized Cobras on the West Coast. You can verify with Curt Scott that this car and Don Borders are worthy of all this acclaim and more.

This concours-class Cobra has captured countless 1st place, Best of Show, Best engine, Best paint, People's Choice and Best Sport Car awards, and is one of the most recognized and award-winning serpents on the entire West Coast. The coachwork finish is PPG paint formulated by Finishmaster and custom mixed by builder Don Borders: 2006 Ford GT Midnight Blue with white stripes. It boasts a magnificent 4"-diameter/ 1/8"-thick-wall, round-tube chassis.

This Cobra was completed in 1997 and driven and shown for four years, when I sold it at a show to an older gentleman who simply had to possess this car! He owned it for approximately 7 years before I received a call from his wife advising me that he was seriously ill and the car was for sale. He had pampered the car, so I lept at the opportunity to purchase it back. It was in great shape but not quite to my standards. I phoned Don Borders and a few days later it was in his shop in Palm Desert going through a thorough refitting/ refurbishing/ reconditioning. I wanted to show it with my 2006 Ford GTX-1, so I decided to have it painted to match the GTX-1. It went through extensive body and paint work to make it straight and flawless. Every mechanical part was checked and replaced or repaired as needed. I showed them together at the San Francisco Rod and Custom show in February '08 and they each captured First-in-(its)-Class against unimpeachable competition. This is a show where only the best-of-the-best are accepted as entries. CCX-33928 has been zipped up in a car bag almost the entire time from that show until today. It looks even better than you see it in these photos... perfect in every respect!
