No, I won't call you crazy at all....you are one of the best and most thoughtful posters on the board.
Kirkham likely has the best quality...but it was a very poor value for me for several reasons....
I definitely did not want a shinny aluminum body... so I would have painted it.
Furthermore, I did not want a aluminum body for a variety of reasons centered around damage and repair. My opinion, that's all.
And so, Kirkham was not on my list for long.
I think if you are looking for value and you are willing and able to pony up the dough... a original is the best value, it will actually appreciate, it is hard to beat driving a capital gain... and you can drive them and make money.
Fast Freddy's Ferrari that he paid $14k for (about $100k adjusted) just sold for nearly $30,000,000....soooo....that is great value.
I have had the Porsche disease for 50 years and have not only driven them for free...I have made money....you can't beat that....
And yes, I love the line...." What is the difference between a porcupine and a Porsche ? ...... A porcupine has the pricks on the outside "
