David,

Please sign me up. I never like to miss an opportunity to visit your shop. Plus it's a good remedy for the mid-winter blues.

Cool New car!

Wow!

It is about time someone built a car with what people really want now...

" It is an unbelievable car with astonishing capabilities.
Great Speakers!
Great Food! "


Many cars have great speakers but often the amps need help.
Does it also have an Espresso machine?
I think that is a necessity nowadays...

Just wish I could come to your open house

Default David, Quick Question

Roughly, how far/long a drive is it from Salt Lake City to your location? We would be flying in from Sacramento and need to determine if we can do both directions in one-day. Also, being from California, tend to distinguish distance from time; too much time on our freeways I think.

Second question. I am most interested in your 289FIA car. By chance, will you have any of those in-work that I might take a look at? Recognize these do not sell as well as your 427s; thus the question.

Thanks,

Bob

It is about 40 minutes to drive from the airport to our shop if the traffic isn't bad. On Saturday it usually isn't bad.

My brother's car is here. It has a Lemans rear with an FIA front.

Wouldn't it be something if it was the GR-1 car!!! As only Kirkham would be the one to do it justice.
