Default 10 Kirkhams for $39,900 each

Gentlemen:

Apparently, Shelby American (Brent Fenimore), doesn’t believe we really sell cars at the prices we promise.


So:

Kirkham Motorsports will sell the next 10 Kirkham 427 roadsters—for $39,900.

The cars will come equipped identically to the car which is listed here at Ebay.
The $39,900 price is valid for the first 10 cars or until the end of the Kirkham Open House 17 Jan 04—whichever comes first. A $5,000, non-refundable, deposit will be required to hold your place in line.


Finally, Brent stated, “I have to admit I am not sure if I am kidding or not.”

Brent, you may be kidding; we’re not.

Default OUCH!!!!

DAVID KIRKHAM = 1
BRENT FENIMORE = 0




Gotta love that Kirkham family...they stand behind what they sell.

THAT is why my next Cobra (if there is one!) will be from Thomas and David K.

...they manage to lower prices AND donate cars for good causes!!! A CLASS ACT!!!!

For any concerned existing Kirkham owners,

It's a two week or so window . Hopefully, many potential shoppers who were on the edge may be taking profits out of their business at year end, getting bonus checks, or just needed a little push to realize the dream. I think it is great and personally it does not bother me. It still takes a labor of love to finish these and you know all the little things that go into making a fine completed car. I am happy to see more demand for Kirkhams overall. It's also good for all of us to see Kirkham remain a healthy and growing entity.

David ,

I admire your brass......a failing commodity these days...

I am a little puzzled however....you said in this post "427 roadster"...is that what you meant.? or did you mean more of the hybrid on your current auction?

I am guessing you mean 427 roadster.....?? some of us who were not even in the market for a new car.. now need to know...

KobraKarl,

If you are interested in a Hybrid instead of one of the 427 roadsters, we would have to specially make it in Poland. No problem, we would be happy to do it for you.

We did mean to sell the next 10 427 roadsters...but if you want a 289 FIA, 289 Hybrid, 289 Modified Hybrid, or a 427 Street car, we will be happy to make it for you under the same deal.

Thank you for the kind words.

Please let me know how we can help.

TC,

Thank you especially for your kind words.

John,

Sooner than you think... patience...patience...patience

Heck, I'll even extend the same deal to you on a 289 Street. (Many thanks for helping with the NYC car.)

David

David,
It would appear you have graduated from marketing 101 and should consider teaching it others.

You guys never cease to amaze me.

Default I coulda had a KIRKHAM!

Argh...

My SPF isnt even on the road yet and now I find out I coulda had a V8, I mean a Kirkham. Don't get me wrong, I love my SPF and I'm psyched to have it but an aluminum Kirkham - WOW!
Definately next time or next trade in.

I would not want to be CAV but then again, those cars probably do come with a "special" fender tag or signature or sumpin.
