He said mountains of parts, I would hope that is a YES, I wonder what color the one was that they just completed...

And $100K or so for an alloy cobra with a 3000 vin? That's worth a second look. I'm selling my GT and thinking about what might be next.

My post was not clear. I added [Kirkhams] start at $99,995

The CSX3000's are EXTREMELY expensive to build. I think the motor alone was well north of $30,000.

I think Bill painted it blue, though I am not sure.

EDIT!

I just got off the phone with the guys at DenBeste and they confirmed we did NOT make the car in the press release. The car we made hasn't been painted yet.

Really, really cool stuff, it's a barn find for sure, and I'm glad Kikham plays such a huge role, who better than them...
