Now it looks like there's a value <deduction> of $170,000 for having painted the aluminum body.
BTW, my vague recollection is that Ned said that 1960's AC and Shelby values were around $600,000-$800,000, without decorated histories. So, the $400,000 asking price for that 7000 series FIA seems a tad high, no?

I wonder if Evan has been visiting with Gary P at SAI lately. I know he paid a visit to a certain "Bob" in FLA not long ago. Maybe researching where to put the new "benchmark price" and may have learned some things along the way?

Wait a minute, was that the goofy guy that was making aluminum Cobras and then substituting in pictures of Kirkhams? And then Mr. Mustang tee'd off on him and Jamo gave him a timeout?

Dr. Bob Gingold is one of the most famous and esteemed original Cobra owners and he lives in FL. He's owned his 1960's Cobra for over 40 years. He has ZERO to do with the owner of alloycars.com.
If true, and Evan did visit Dr. Bob, then I'm assuming it was to look through his extensive NOS parts inventory.

Well you guys need to make your posts clearer so that us stupid people can understand them better.

"You guys?" Talk to Bernica. He wrote it.
Hmmm. Bob in FL? If you read your SAAC Annual Magazine each year, you would have known Mr. Know-It-All.
The fact that it takes about a year to get through each magazine, because of its size, speaks to the hard work that the SAAC Board and its volunteers does year round with the all the other stuff going on.

Maybe the visit to Dr Bob was Evan's wake up/real talk/hard look in the mirror... He does not have an original, authentic but a beautiful recreation of a 1960s Cobra? For him to quit and sell his Cobra, some trauma must have happened recently?
Does he need money? Divorce?
Where is Mister Mustang? He usually blasts sellers for ridicilous asking price but no comment to Evans price? Hmmmm.

no, its easy to differ, the form of the rear wheel arches, the form of the front flares or the form of the rollbars,
the alu(-kirkham) cars have a specific other shape in theses details

I'm going to have to agree with peterpjb and say that is NOT a Kirkham alloy body. That painted FIA body appears to be fiberglass. Although the ad does say aluminum body.

Shelby's own brochure of prototypes for sale describes it as aluminum. Maybe the photo is a fiberglass car but they appear to be selling an aluminum one. I guess someone needs to buy it so we can be sure.
