Are you sticking to the $49,900 includes tires and seat belts?

Seat belts come in the dunnage box with the chassis, they must be clipped in to the mounts. I include tires (four and they are NOT BFG TAs) or a tire allowance (to provide the choice of brand or upgrade as an option) on the chassis I sell.

No, a battery is not included and yes, stripes are optional.

I understand stripes being optional, but no tires, no installed seat belts and no battery?

I know there's a theory there, but a Kirkham is supplied with these parts.

As I said seat belts ARE standard and supplied. The factory does not supply the tires, the dealer does. As the chassis' ship without wheels it would make no sense to provide tires from South Africa. The battery is part of the install/completion and again subject to the customers choice and purchase. As is the driveshaft which will vary with transmission used (TKO, Toploader, etc.)

The price comparison to Kirkham is a little skewed. Kirkham undoubtedly has one of the finest products on the market but the standard price point is without paint, unassembled, unwired, etc. That does not relate to the Superformance or Backdraft "rolling chassis" sales model. Add a good paint job, assembling and setting the suspension, installation of the seats and interior and everyone's favorite project.....wiring!!!

For the record the dealer does clip the seatbelts into the eyelets unless the buyer requests otherwise. Heck, I think even Patrick could do that job!

I just think of seatbelts, wheels/tires and batteries as being fairly run-of-the-mill standard stuff for a roller to come with. I wasn't trying to compare per se to a Kirkham.

I'm no genius, but a Kirkham is delivered as rolling chassis (with driveshaft and a whole bunch of other parts) and only an engine and trans are needed to drop in. That's how I bought mine. As for paint, the polishing option is now a $15,000 option, with brushed stripes extra, which is in the ball park for a "Pebble Beach" type paint job.

Mine came as a roller also, seat were in, belts where in, I wanted to do the carpet myself but they will install it if you want. Only thing you really need when getting a Kirkham is paint, or polish=brush finish. The Kirkhams just raised the prices on the finish, it is still a bargain now, was even a better bargain then, for the little extra it's a no brainer if you can to get the Kirkham and be done with ever wanting another Cobra...
