Flip sure got a nice deal on his used Kirkham, just under $70K I think it was. 42 gallon, real (really!) side oiler, brushed. Pretty much the specs I'd be looking for. 5 speed would be a plus for me. In Hawaii, no big deal, HERE on the mainland, yeah, that's a pretty nice option to have.

Flip's deal was $68K on eBay and I was very close to bidding on it at that level. He's a lucky guy.
Ernie, yes, the polished exterior is not for everyone, no doubt about it, but the maintenance is very similar to a painted car. You polish a painted car much like you polish a polished aluminum car. It seems all too often people add aluminum panels to their fiberglass cars, so they have somewhat similar issues taking care of their aluminum panels, although not the exterior.
