"All of the originals were aluminum and all were painted."
Whether there were or weren't, the thing I find very amusing is how many different color paint jobs one (or a few) of the earliest cars received to give the perception that there were a lot more cars than there really was. Ole Shel was one slippery guy. |
The bare aluminum looks cool but if I had one that way I suspect eventually i would tire of it and paint or wrap it.

I like painted Cobras so I don't get mistaken for an Airstream trailer.

Yeah, those are big risks. |

2. Just as difficult as maintaining a painted car. Clean and polish. 3. Replicas are not originals. So, if you think paint is going to fool anyone, more so than bare aluminum, then I have a bridge to sell you. 4. You have this one backwards, very few replicas, er, just Kirkhams, are bare aluminum. If you want to blend into the "crowd," with the tens of thousands of ERA's, SPF's, FFR's, etc. then get it painted. 5. What happened to #5? 6. I express (and impress) myself with bare aluminum. Aluminum (metal) dents, but fiberglass, expands, cracks and, if hit, breaks into straw. |

Brian: Their website says $99.00 flat fee, no premiums.
I see their method to stop last minute "sniping" is to add 2 min. after each bid in the last minute of the auction. |
The buyer pays the premium, the seller only pays $99.

The listing process is fast and affordable: sellers pay only $99 to list their vehicle, and it usually takes two weeks from a thorough submission to your live auction beginning. https://bringatrailer.com/faq/ The 5% buyer’s fee is paid via the buyer’s card on file at auction close. The transaction for the winning bid amount is between the buyer and the seller. At the close of auction, the winning bidder and seller will receive each other’s contact information via email. We recommend that the seller send the buyer a photocopy of the title and a bill of sale prior to the buyer sending payment, and we recommend a wire transfer. https://bringatrailer.com/faq/#colla...s-payment-work If you win an auction we charge 5% of the final bid price on top of the winning bid, with a minimum fee of $250 up to $5,000 (5% of a $100,000 bid). The fee for sales higher than $100,000 is capped at $5,000. https://bringatrailer.com/faq/#colla...he-buyers-fee- |
I just now went back and read how the buyer pays the 5%
Thanks for the explanation, |
About what was predicted here.

BAT (and eBay) depend on the auction winner being truly motivated. It's almost free to walk away from a eBay auction. BAT makes that tax 5% or 5K. If the buyer gets cold feet his max cost is the 5% number collected by BAT but there is no guarantee that the seller will see the money (or sell the car) since the transaction is between buyer and seller. I don't know if they've had fraud yet, but there certainly is the opportunity for it. |
So is it much harder to scratch the wrap? Where did they put the joints?JD

^^^I'm confused, which one is the Cobra?

Someone said that painting my Kirkham would make it look like a glass Cobra.
Truth is, I painted it so it would look like a wrapped Kirkham. %/ |
