Some of you were interested in who won the bid on the Kirkham hybrid that was auctioned off on Ebay about a week ago. In fact, I asked the question myself because I did not know the identity of the winner based on his Ebay "handle." I found out the next day that it was Al Kamhi, owner of Blue Moon Motorsports in Longwood, Florida, just north of Orlando. I knew that he was going to bid on it but I did not know that he was the winning bidder when the auction ended. I have bought the car from him and he will complete the build of it. The engine will be an aluminum Shelby 427 built by Southern Automotive. The body will be painted Guardsman blue as per the color that the factory cars were, and the body and interior will be finished true to original FIA style.

Al was in the process of building my Hunter FIA Cobra when this opportunity presented itself. That project will be suspended until the Kirkham is completed. The Kirkham will be completed by the end of October and I plan to have it at Gainesville, Florida for the Deep South Cobra Club Reptile Roundup on November 14-16, and at the Turkey Rod Run at Daytona Speedway on Thanksgiving weekend.
