CowtownCobra: thanks for the tip on the Kirkham! I'd prefer something already completed OR something that at least has an SB100 Number! I really don't want to suffer through another "loss" like I did a couple of weeks ago. I'd LOVE to buy Tony Ripepi's Unique 427 RIGHT NOW, BUT I haven't sold my Hemi Bee yet and that'll take a month or two, depending on how long it takes me to get it up and running right (it runs, but since it's been sitting under cover in my garage for the last 6 years, my buddy and I replaced the gas tank last July and even though the car starts up, it won't idle worth a dang - and I had the carbs rebuilt, BUT that was about 4 years ago and they've just been sitting aroung in a box - we think it still has some fuel supply problems to work out!). My Bee IS AN ORIGINAL 1 of 92 4 spd Hemi Bees built in '69, BUT it doesn't have the original motor (or trans... I need to check the trans numbers) since we think it was used as a drag car in it's earlier years (could account for the fantastic shape the body and interior is in). I figure when I sell it, I'll auction it off on Ebay with an appropriate "Reserve Price" in the $75 - 80K range. That should give me enough money to get a NICE BB Cobra replica WITH an SB100 Number (IF I don't wait until Jan 2, 2006 and try to get my own and just build a nice 427 SC Kirkham
) Again, THANKS for the info. I kinda knew about southernfriedcj's Kirkham, but since it was not a completed car or an 427 S/C, I wasn't all that interested in it. NOW, IF I had an SB100 Number in hand, that would be different.
