What's the deal with Slabside pricing and availability?

It's not a $100,000 differential, it's adding the differential to the cost of the car.
You know, ring, pinion, case Etc. Go to the site and look at the price list. You'll see what I'm talking about.

OK, now I understand. You're not comparing the price difference between Shelby and Kirkham alloy rollers. You're saying that once you buy a roller from Kirkham, then add $100,000 for options, engine and transmission. I get it.

Partially yes. I'm not comparing the cost difference between Shelby and Kirkham, correct. I'm going down the options list on the 289 KMS roller and adding a differential to that. It came to $100,000 at the bottom.

Also, if you buy a KMS it will have the billet style suspension (assuming buggy style) and it does not qualify for some racing sanctioning bodies. I believe European vintage racing is more restrictive than US.
That is a big $$$ add on.

Partially or completely?

I bought a new Kirkham and I didn't spend $100,000 or anywhere even approaching that amount to finish my car. But then I didn't option two roll bars, copper body, heater/AC, stainless steel frame, original suspension with billet Girlings, hardtop, etc.

Actually, the differential was the only thing I added a check to on the price list. All other options on the list I left as standard equipment. It came out at the bottom as $99,995.00. If I were ordering it for myself, I would have to have original style suspension, leather interior and splined hubs for wire wheels. Good thing I'm only dreaming!
