That Kirkham sure is pretty, but I just reckon the stance isnt quite right - sitting a bit low at the back or something:

And still hasn't.
After all, as nice as a Kirkham is, it is still not a "real Cobra"

 Amen to that.
Whats your CSX number on that Cobra there soulman?
Its a Kirkham - definately a real Kirkham though (Although that doesnt change the fact it still needs the arse jacked up 2 inches)
(That said i dont think its any less a cobra then the continuation cobras - the only real ones IMO are the originals)

FYI..Tenrocca.
Full registration in Vic.
REGO Label Says..
1965 Ford Roadster
VIN CSX 3085
Im very honoured to call it Kirkham, as the guys build the Shelby bodies and chassis and a heap of other stuff for Shelby. The Shelby of old unfortunetly is long gone..All their is now a marketing machine that would put the great mans name on anything.
The Kirkhams are a class act and are replicating the same energy that Shelby had 40 years ago.
I bought my car from the States registered as a 65 Shelby- is it a real Cobra ..Definetly.
Is it Genuine Cobra..Definetly not.
Is it better than a continuation Shelby, if you know about qaulity and engineering..Definetly.
As far as it sitting too low...thats how racing cobras were set.
Im offended if you think my BUM looks out place..
Surely i can get someone else stirred up out there.
Soulman.

Do you mean like this one?
A fully-restored and wearing the Reims livery 1965 Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe CSX2601 will be auctioned at the 22nd Dana Mecum Original Spring Classic Auction taking place May 13-17, 2009, in Indianapolis, Ind. High performance collector car specialists Mecum Auction says it expects the Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe to be attract the highest bid ever paid at a public auction for an American automobile. The show also will be broadcast live on Friday, May 15, 2009 during the company’s series “Mecum Auto Auction: Muscle Cars & More".
The organizers are extremely positive the car will surpass the $11 million paid for a 1961 Ferrari California Spyder and that it will fetch between $12 and $15 million. |

haha - dont get me wrong Id take your kirkham over just about any other replica - but Id just jack the arse up an inch or 2. Just my opinion though and if you think it looks right thats all that really matters....hell there are people out there that think a DRB actually looks like a cobra too.... 
The stance on this one looks right to me:
Cheers

Great video Mike,
Lucky boy to own 2 originals..
I love all that historical info on these cars. Thats the only reason I got
Foxtel originally as they always had lots of programs on early racing etc.
Seems its just rubbish these days and I'm better spending the money at
book and video websites.
