Yes the Kirkham 289 FIA Jenny car is still for sale, thanks for inquiring about this car, unfortunately I am the unlucky owner that has to sell the car, if you will notice there is allot of chatter about it, it is very hard to put a price on this car, like DV says it is worth every penny god bless him he has put allot of sweat and tears in the project along with several other volunteers. I am not sure which car you are talking about that sold for 100K, I did not see it on ebay, the workmanship on this car is unbelievable I have never seen anything like it, believe me if I ever get a chance to own another cobra I will defiantly save up and buy a Kirkham it’s a beautiful and closest you will ever get to the original and even better “from what I hear” I have never owned or driven an original.

The unpainted bare aluminum finish is the only way to go, the Kirkham team did a beautiful job on this one, it will be amazing how many more people will approach you asking about the history thinking it’s a real cobra, and then that gives you a chance to blab on and on and pass on the knowledge you have spent years collecting just for this occasion, so I am with the opinion of the majority stay with the aluminum finish (will that’s my two cents worth)

Please email me for any further questions
