for some reason I would be more comfortable with a Kirkham. Is my perception wrong?

Thanks for the heads up. Getting close to my price range but the car dont look clean. I have seen alot of cobras with less than 1K miles and that one looks to have alot more but the add indicates 600 miles. Seats look used, fuel residue on manifold, tires look to be 45 years old. I would guess closer to 8K miles. Even the windwings show marring and as we all know pictures hide alot!! I know this is the kind I will be able to afford but I feel the price with the southern automotive engine  should be high $60's at best.

I had the same exact thoughts--she looks a bit rough for less than 1,000 miles. The seller could have at least cleaned the car up a bit before taking pictures (i.e., engine bay, carpet).  |

High $60's for an aluminum CSX is unrealistic, even in this market. As for Southern Automotive, just to try and balance things out, if I remember correctly, they do have their fans too. |

Rod,
I think Madmaxx was referring to the Kirkham, not the aluminum CSX. |

I think for this one in particular upper 60's is about right for me probably not the seller but that is his problem as usual they keep the car I keep the cash LOL. There was a Kirkham on cobra country with two intake systems fully documented car with shelby aluminium block for $85K. That is the one I tried to buy. I was third on the list and the first guy on the list bought it. I called within 24 hours. I dont have a problem at $85K with a shelby aluminium block etc but that is at the top of my range and it has to be the perfect one for me.
This car just seams to have some wear on it which is fine at the right price.

Didn't the Kirkham on Cobra Country with the Webers and the single quad manifold sell for 90K+? I do know that it was for sale earlier in the year, sold, and then the new owner put it back up for sale again recently. Did it sell again? |

Wouldn't this car actually BE a Kirkham?
