I witnessed the New R Model 427 Comp Car in fiberglass with a 715HP Vortech supercharged Aluminum Block. It had all custom triangulated frame, special interior including the dash. A great looking car in Guardsman Blue/White Stripes/Meatballs bearing the # 01 for CSX 4001. It sported a Flip-Top style windscreen. There was no "Originalty" thing planned for the looks of this car. It sold for $196,000 to Future Classics in Lakewood, New Jersey.
I also ran into the Aluminum Guy that does the work for HRE.
Quess what he had????????????
---The "Evan Harris Hood". It looked much better.
---Even after we used it as a snowboard...
PS. I don't think the Dragonsnake made the 1100-1200 mark.
Rumor has it that is in the 800 range..
-Still plenty
As for the funny colored Kirkham car. It got bid to $67,000 with a $45,000 Curt Vogt Bill Cosby Syle Twin Paxton.
The auctioneers did not present it well fumbling the Kirkham name making sure not to call it a Cobra in front of Carroll. I think they called it Kirkman.
It is a nice car but I think the buyers don't like the color combo along with the bumper overides instead of quick jacks. Also, there are no rivets on the hood. In my opinion it shows too much like a replica from a glance.
