Asking price was 75K and that included a 2 four barrel carb setup and a top. They weren't included in this sale. If someone from this board bought the car, I believe the original owner has those items and would let them go.
To sell a nice Kirkham today, I'd expect to see a sales price of around $90-100K or more depending on the build. One would have to be truly desperate or in dire straits to sell a Kirkham at $70-75K. A basic roller is $70K with no options last I checked.

In my mind, any salvage car would have to be bought at roughly 50% of market value, thus well bought for me for this Kirkham at or under $50K assuming no fatal flaws.
