Very expense price is being ask but we can get it.  Is there anyone who may knowledge of such a car built or how i can get a hold of Carroll Sheby to talk about car?  --Fastfrog--(Ted Godwin)  803-478-3780 then press 1 or 803-528-8633---HELP PLEASE!!!!!! |

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.

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?

Given the poster's location...me thinks you are right. Talked to the two guys that bought it at the SLC airport when we were all leaving, and I recall they were from thereabouts.
That was one heavy sumb!tch.

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

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.

No, I can't.
I think it is pretty safe to say we have built our last copper car.
