I'm not publicly kissing up here, I think it is fact. Therefore, I have to think that some day in the future, Kirkham Cobras will be as valuable as the originals, or at least nearly so. Secondly, I do not think very many billet chassis cars will be sold, due to cost verses real world improvement. That being the case, some day one of these cars is going to be as rare as the 5 million dollar snake and will be worth that type of money.

I know I have been full of crap most of my life, but I think I am dead on, on this one.
olddog,

You are most kind with your words. I can truly say we do our best to make the best car we possibly can. If they hold their value, then I am happy. What I truly hope for is that our new car can change the world for the better. Sorry I can't say more about it, or if it will ever drive--but that is my dream.

David
