How Many Kirkham 289 FIAs Built?
I was wondering how many Kirkham 289 FIAs were built and how many were the leaf spring suspension?
|
I'm interested too in the production numbers. Bert

I think we have made about 60 leaf spring cars. A good chunk of these cars are in Europe.

Jeff and Rodney,
I hope I can get the pics today. It depends on when the container gets here. This is going to be a really cool car. :D
I believe the wheel flares will be a lot like the $675,000 car at Fantasy Junction, CSX2317. It is on our hybrid frame which will make it turn, drive and stop very nicely. The flares will give it room for a little more rubber while keeping the clean lines of the narrow cars.
PS... The car I am talking about is a hybrid, not a leaf spring. It is for sale and just got unloaded from the container... Sorry to hijack Gary's thread... For more info see the other thread about this 289 hybrid |

henryr, if I may answer for Joe, yes they do. Their street model is gorgeous and still available.

Yikes!, get 'em while they're hot, before the Russki's roll in and take their Mig factory back!

It must be the FIA wheels are a tad thick for the spindle length. The green street at SAAC was like that too. Scarey looking! Nice cars though.

I'm not aware of one, but I'm sure someone will pipe in if they have one. Talk to Joe at Kirkham. He will be happy to provide you with more info.

Very rough number is 25 Hybrid FIAs.
RodKnock is correct. We build 289 street cars on both leaf spring and hybrid chassis. |
