Hi all, and happy Autumn. Trees are looking beautiful here in MI.

I've heard from a number of you regarding our cars, thanks for the interest and support! It's great to hear from you.

I'm now working full time with my dad building Kirkhams and restoring Cobras, no more landscaping. Can you blame me? We have a number of projects in the works, Cobra Pack's car is at the top of the list - it's turning out to be a great USRRC Kirkham!

In case anyone knows someone looking for a Cobra, we have two for sale, a 289 Slab Side and a 427 Street car, which actually has a small-block in it.

The 289 can be seen at DynamicAutoWest.net and the 427 is on Craigslist, of all places. Link is: NEW 1965 Shelby 427 Cobra - Aluminum Bodied Kirkham . Both are new with only a few hundred miles, both great drivers.

Email me @ mikedwagner@gmail.com for anything you may need.

'Til next time,

Mike

Default Hello Mike

Mike,

Gruff here. You are are building that Silver Mink SC for me. Your Dad may have told you of my visit to MI a while back when I flew an F-18 into Willow Run.

Hope to be visiting soon and meet you face to face.


All the best,

GRUFF

Hi John, good to hear from you!

Who hasn't heard of your flight into Michigan!? I thought pulling up in a Cobra was cool.. but landing in an F18? If I was better at video games as a kid I may have given the USAF a shot, that would be the ultimate career for me!

We did some work on your car today, got a lot of the suspension prepped and painted. Wheels are well on their way, and we're going to start working hard on prepping the body for paint now.

Looking forward to your visit in a month or so. Take care!

-Mike

Mike,

Good to hear from you. I am looking forward to meeting you and getting some "hands on" time with the car.

See you guys in a few weeks.

Thanks,

GRUFF

Mike,
Just out of curosity, did your family live in Richmond, IN on Autumn Way in the mid 80's? If so, your Dad and I swapped rides one sunny afternoon after becoming acquainted at the Wendy's Cruisin-in on National Rd East.

I remember when his transfer to Detroit presented and your Dad offered his 427 for sale. If our Eurospec'd 930 turbo hadn't just cleared customs and it's federalization, we would have jumped on his offer!

Not us in Indiana. My parents and their parents all lived in the Detroit area (Dearborn) for as far back as I have been told. Do you know which 427 that was? The #34 S/C perhaps?
