American speed

[Kevb]

Hi everybody, I"m a new member and would like to know if anybody can tell me what happened to Jim Blackburn and american speed. The web site does not respond and there is no arnswer on the phone. Also any information on contemporary & Hi- tech cobras would be appreciated, are they still available and how do they compare to the kirkham?
Many thanks.

Hi there Kevb,
Jim Blackburn died suddenly in Jan 2002. Since then American Speed Specialities has never traded again...

Hi KevB

Factory Five Racing in Massachusetts acquired the rights to the Contemporary, since taking it over they have apparently done nothing with it.

There is an article on the Contemporary in edition 82 of Snake Torque.

Many thanks

I have a contemporary, and there is one other in our region, would also be interested in any info. Only info I've got is from an old Cobra Classics Magazine.Don't believe they are still made.

Funny this.. just today I was visiting somebody who has a Hi-Tech chassis and body under a tarp in the back garden. Very nice kit and bodywork and he has it as a future project maybe.
