Default Kirkham Spy Photos...(slabside!)

My, my, my...look what just landed in Provo!

Jamo, Johnny McBoy, et al... line 'em up!

Beautiful...simply beautiful!

I wonder if the Kirkhams would consider a trade in?

It's beautiful...gorgeous... But, ya know... I keep looking hard at the 289-style cars and I'm always drawn back to the 427's. Call me unsophisticated, call me a Philistine, but the hulking, big-flared, oil cooler scooped, hood scooped, big mouthed, side piped body just gets me weak in the knees like no other car, ever. Period. I love 'em both, but...

What I find amazing in the above photos is how even the reflections are, top to bottom and side to side. Nice bodywork!

LOL, in '62 those 'slab sides' WERE considered flared!
Can't wait to see it with the Daytons on.

God do I want that car!

Beautiful. Anyone owning a car like that would clearly be a man of taste, refinement, and good looks.

Very nice, it is a pretty car to see. I think that it is great that all varieties of Cobras are available now.
Anxious to see a completed one. I imagine that it is a leaf spring car.

Put it on the 427 frame, sell the roller for $39,000.00, and stand back! The line forms right behind me.

Bumpsteer, WW,

Sorry, but the line actually forms right behind my wife...for the hybrid, that is.

The first one is in the works and will be here shortly. We are now taking orders.

Sorry I haven't been able to post lately...too many sales. I have never been so busy in all my life.

Some people just show up and take photos and then post them...

David

Waht Barchetta said,,,,,

As nice as that slab side looks (it's a Kirkham, of course it looks fabulous) I'm still a knuckle dragger, I'll take a 427 please!
