Hello,
I am an engineer and a business owner. I did a significant amount of research before making my purchases. My wife (she is the only female Kirkham owner that I know about) and I own two of the top configured / optioned Kirkham cars - #491 and #504. Polished bodies, stainless exhaust, polished 427 (482) FE - the awe factory that the car produces in unbelievable. From an engineering standpoint, the cars have been modernized to be better, lighter, and "cooler". The Kirkham cars (properly setup) are pure race cars. No matter what you sit next to the polished Kirkham, the Kirkham gets the attention.
Appreciation? Guys (and gals) that have the coin for a $100k+ second car (6th and 7th for me) are looking to maintain value not make money off of it. I plan on retaining my cars for years to come.
I believe that 200 aluminum bodies were sold to Shelby by Kirkham. So many Shelby cars are Kirkham skins. Sheep in wolf’s clothing???
