Woow super fast !!!! Can’t believe thx so much !!!!
In US that Certificate of Origin (COO) along with the gold CMC tag is the official title for the fiberglass kit body of the Speedster. If it's on a VW pan, that and the VW donor car will get the replica registered in most states. Often builders just use the VW title that matches the donor's pan VIN.
I have the same COO and gold id plate for my 1988 CMC. I don't know where those COOs are registered (or if they are) but they are an official "title" issued thru State of Florida - they is no certificate of authenticity other than that watermarked document. I don't know if FL records or tracks the COO (CMC went belly up in 1992). State titles use a similar paper.

Classic Motor Carriages - Speedster link to new CMC site
Are they in business again?
I send a mail to CMC abut no responses....
Not sure why someone would set up that CMC web site. CMC (in all its follow-on company names - Auto Resolutions/Street Beasts gone). George Levin would not try to revive it. The new CMC web site is in FR - Mid-Pyrenes and was setup in 2018. Why set it up? - got me. Noticed PO's COO was signed by a Levin!

.Here's what the CMC factory site actually looks like today:
It looks remarkably similar to the SAS/SAW factory.

OK, my penchant for telling tall tales here has caught up with me.
This actually IS what the former CMC factory site looks like today - or at least part of it.
Wolfgang's photo shows what 16650 N.W. 27th Avenue, Miami looked like when CMC was in residence:
And here, thanks to Google Maps, is what that site looks like today:
The strip mall in my first photo is in the foreground of the wider view. There's also a much larger shopping center and a Mobil truck stop there, too.
I wonder what the total monthly rent for that site is today.
Time marches on.
ill take a Speedster, extra onions, hold the mayo
@Sacto Mitch - I just thought you were making yet another funny, but now that I look more closely at your choice of words, I can see you were serious.
I'm just not used to that.
Well, you never know. IIRC, Intermeccanica gave up the ghost in Italy, surfaced in CA as a replica builder, then moved to Vancouver. Puma quit Brazil and surfaced some time later in South Africa.
I’m sure it would be a boon to CMC/Fiberfab owners if someone had picked up the ball and run from it, even if it was in France.

Interesting choice of words. Usually you pick up the ball and run WITH it. But with CMC I guess running FROM it would be apropos.

LOL. That darn Siri. I guess I need to pay more attention to what she’s typing!
But you’re right, based on my experience with them back in the 90’s, probably apropos.
The Old CMC building was much more attractive than another vacant mall! I fortunately got all my parts from them. Some like the radio provided were crap - even back in 1988. They tried to screw me on shipping - FL to No. VA. I arranged shipping thru my brother's company for $550. I had told them I had arranged shipping and to notify me when it was ready to be picked up. No call so I called and they said they had already shipped via Pilot COD for $1440. Fortunately that was the same company my brother used so they used his prepaid shipping! Took several tries to get matching front turn signals and a few backordered items but did get them all eventually. Even got an extra front hood!
