Attn: All Kirkham Owners
About a month ago, I posted a request for all present and prior Kirkham owners to submit information about their cars for the Kirkham Registry. I indicated a sense of urgency to gather this info...since the data would be published soon. There was a reason...
In an announcement today from SAAC: Quote:
A Kirkham Cobra Owner Information Form from SAAC is available if you are a current owner, but not the original purchaser. Send an e-mail to registry@kmsac.com and I will forward to you the form and directions. The clock is ticking...we need this info to meet the deadline for publication. Pass the word to any Kirkham owner that you might know, who is not online and may not see this appeal. Contact me if you have any questions. |
Just received my letter today from the SAAC.
|
Me too. Glad I saw this as I thought that it was a request to renew and might have overlooked it.
|
Is this good news?
|
What about the Superformance cars now being recognized from Shelby?

It doesn't change any DNA of the cars, though. ;) Quote:

Just wondering, does anybody else suspect that this has as much to do with SAAC keeping track of Kirkhams that may morph into Shelbys than anything else?
Obviously, several have already been used to extensively repair / rebuild original cars, and at least one plastic 4000 series is now wearing an aluminum skin. I've heard that another KMS car was "upgraded" and given "Shelby" status (someone with personal knowelge of this can feel free to chime in here). In anycase, us Kirkham owners can take pride in our cars no matter what. If SAAC wants to welcome us because the cars are such perfect reproductions...great!! If SAAC wants to recognize us because our cars are so close to original that there is concern that they may become "original"...great!! At least it recognizes the quality and accuracy of the Kirkham. Given SAAC's history, I suspect the former. Is there anyone out there with firsthand knowlege of this? |
Yes, this is clear.
Just like SAAC has made sections for the MK IV and the Autokraft cars, they can then provide an audit trail for all the known aluminum cars. |
I guess I have to chime in on this one also, questioning the point of KMP cars in the SAAC registry. It just doesn't make sense. The "keeping track" reason doesn't make sense either. What are you keeping track of? If a KMP (or any other car for that matter) was used to repair a CSX car, or to make an air car, what does it matter what was PREVIOUSLY on record for that car? It's not like the owner of that car is going to submit info to the registry that he just illegally used that car to make into another car. So whatever is written in the registry about that car beforehand means nothing. Same goes for the Autokraft cars, although I feel they have a legit place in the registry because they are AC.
Just seems like a waste of paper to me. |
Sal,
Lets say I were to sell my car to Alan Lubinsky.....:). |
If I were to own any CSX car I would be pissed.
Next year when the FFR bodies are all made after Dick's car and they are used to repair plastic CSX cars because it is cheaper and the bodies are better- Will they be in the book? I think it is definetly how "the Man" is keeping an eye on us and about doubles the book market at the same tiem. And all of us can't get our info in fast enough! |
Hey, if it " doubles the book value"...I'm all for it!!
Anyone wanna buy a Kirkham? It's in the SAAC Registry!!! :) :) |
