The reservoirs do not come with the mounts. (We only use one mount now that holds all three). I think there is another set here. A few people have asked and I went digging. I will look to see if we have any of those old style clamps left if you are interested.

No billet books laying around I do have some of the proofs around here...

Just thought you guys might want to see why we are here so late. This is an SPF (superplastic forming) die for the rocker on a...

Coupe

It is made from cast iron.

While coming back from moving the Coupe SPF die I found this

We just pulled this differential out of a customers car and exchanged it. The differential was leaking a bit (it is 10 years old--it is out of the NYC 911 car we donated to the NYU Hospital at Ground Zero. Can you guys believe it has been 10 years!) It was also make a clunking noise as the clutches grabbed and let go. We just replaced it. We don't have time to figure out what is wrong. The differential unit is a Dana Power Lock. They are not that expensive to rebuild.

Retail $5,000. Today $2,500 I'll even throw in the upper mounts.

SOLD

3:31 Ratio

We have 2 trunk trays for a 427 street car. They are very similar to the trunk tray of a 289 car and can be used in a 289 car. (The 289 car has a cross molded into the bottom.) This one has the holes already drilled in it for access to the differential bolts. This one already has the roll bar holes in both sides.

Retail $450 Today $125

Garage Art!

This is a fender from a car that was wrecked. We cut the fender out to fix the car. Hang it in your garage for $95

SOLD

This will probably cost $50-$75 to ship; so, keep that in mind.

Came off a 427 car. It has quite a few dents in it. They don't show up in the photo very well.

This is the front clip we took the fender out of to fix the car. A front clip retails for $10,000. We'll let this go for $3,900. Please keep in mind this will be expensive to ship. Probably $500, maybe more.

No, the "front clips" that are attached to cars in the background are not part of the sale.

Is there anything for the owner who wants to upgrade their existing Kirkham?

Any suggestions?

Also, I updated the differential. It has a 3:31 ratio.
