This is one very unique Kirkham and it will require one (or more) very unique buyers. it may be an over-generalization, but I think most Kirkham buyers want a Cobra that's near original spec than the opposite. This particular Kirkham will require some changes for those individuals that want a Kirkham and want it close to original spec.
Kirkham rollers are $57,000 and a very nice Kirkham sold on eBay recently for around $90,000. How about somewhere in between?  |

Ahh come on guys, it's not that bad. Granted the interior has to go, but the rest of it is o.k. I think the silver paint looks pretty good, but then again silver was one of the finalists in my color choice so I guess I am partial to it.

Uhhh, I dunno.... 700HP for anyone driving much on the street might be just a little rough around the edges.  But yes, that can certainly be fixed. |

But the car was already silver, why paint it silver. I can understand blue or black or whatever. But silver? |

Because if you're going to do that to the interior you might as well paint it the same color that the metal is raw.  |

Good point. For 200k I'd buy two Kirkhams and leave em' both buck naked.

probably faster and cheaper (not to mention easier) to paint than polish!
