I would give Neil Cummings a call. He represents CS in a number of matters and sits on his board. http://www.mncassociates.com/

Ted,

Just a suggestion but if you haven't already done so you might check with the SAAC as they have about the most complete record of the original 60s Cobras. There are also other people that have good records of them including CW. As for contacting Shelby, you might try going through the web site at www.teamshelby.com.

Yes ... and it was a "copper corba". Very rare.

I think it was made in Carmel California, so its a "Carmel California copper corba constructed by Carroll".

Seriously, maybe Amy can chime in on this copper corba caper (sorry). She would be able to find out.

I would imagine it is the copper Kirkham. If so it has a polished stainless roll bar and no engine or transmission.

Do you have pictures?

OK, But I wouldn't think the Kirkham Copper car would need restoration yet. It isn't that old to need restoration.

What kind of condition is the car in? If it is neat and clean as a whistle, it probably is not an old car but in fact is the Kirkham. Which is truly a nice car, but not an old one from the 60's.

I bet the tires look brand new. Sitting in climate control preserves them very well. I bet they look like they were just mounted and balanced.

Can you imagine the Copper Cobra on the billet frame?!? :eek:

Doug I

08-26-2008 10:38 AM

yes I can

I can also add the billet suspension, and a polished alum block engine and tranny.

And a rosewood steering whell to finish it off.

sigh :CRY:

Have found a AC cobra that is...

This should pretty much settle any doubts as to why SAAC chose to track the KMP cars, with all the other metal roadsters, in a Registry.

Not to worry, "Da Bunnies" (south of the Mason/Dixon division) are right on top of this:

They'll get to the bottom of this one no matter who they have to kill.
