2, yes where needed. Engine was replaced with a newer Shelby motor a while back, repainted, etc.
3. Sold to a private collector, left for back east right after the 50th Anniv. at Laguna Seca in Monterey. Had not heard of it being resold after that.
Here is a nice supercars site photo of it taken by Richard Owens at at Monterey / Laguna Seca last year Aug 2012 at the 50th Anniversary.

Nice pics decooney, I have seen it around. Sure looks different from when I was considering purchasing it what seems like a life time ago.

Yes, mine too. Here is my favorite photo (of course  ). The feeling of its power and low stance handling from behind the wheel is something I will never forget in my life time. It was an absolute privilege to be given the opportunity to drive it on the track. Gave it a kiss goodbye at the Monterey 50th before it was transferred to the new owner. It still has a few WSCB event stickers on it too!

Wow, that would have been a rare treat. Lucky you!!
Hope I'm not screwing up the thread, but that car is the reason I decided to do a tilt front and hood louvers on mine.

What inspired you for that color combo, it seems like a nice blend. I always favored CSX 3053 Black with the silver stripe.
I have trouble posting pics but if anyone wants I can post pics of 25 plus years ago of flip top, but I'm sure others on here have done so somewhere. |

OnyxRider,
If you have not seen this before, here is another tilt front project by the KMS crew. Not exactly a flip top but appears to be inspired by it.
Kirkham flip-top with a cammer!

Yes, please do!
The Kirkham flip top is a fantastic car, but being a Kirkham isn't that what you would expect?  |
