If the Super Cobra is worth 5mil what is the Flip Top worth?

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?
