Superformance vs Kirkham

[olddog]

Dave Kirkham and some of his employees hangs around on this site quite a bit. He runs poles now and then to see what the Cobra nuts like and dislike. He and his employees have given me tips and answered questions when I had probems, and I do not own a Kirkham. I have talked with Kirkham owners, as well. You could not deal with a better company or people. I do believe a Kirkham sets the standard that all other replicas are compared to. Even above a Shelby continuation in my mind.

I personally think that someday in the future Kirkhams will be collectable cars fetching prices near (2/3 to 3/4) an original's price. I don't think many other replicas will be able to hold the value that a Kirkham will hold, and there are some superb replicas out there, as mentioned in this thread.

I think Kieth Craft teamed up with Dave to sell a few turn key cars. I recall thinking the price was quite reasonable considering what you were getting. You should check into this. Buy the way, Kieth is also always on this site helping others, as the Kirkhams do. You couldn't go wrong with these two.

In the end it is the money. I personally could not swing this type of money without giving up retirement, but if I could, there is no doubt, it is what I would do.

The Kirkhams set the Gold Standard.

I have owned both and must say that they are both awesome cars.......you can't go wrong with either. But I do find myself not driving KMP297 as much as I thought I would......seems like it is always more convenient to jump in another car for some reason........mine seems to be more of a garage art than anything else!!

I have had both and sell both. If you can afford the Kirkham you can not go wrong. I like to go to a show and have the only car there like it. There are so many fiberglass cars you are just another one in the crowd and most people can not tell what you have. With a Kirkham you are instally diferent from the crowd.
I drive both quite regularly and the Kirkham is the better driving and riding car. You would expect this with the price of the car. When you have custom built billet aluminum suspension and other components that are the latest design this is what you get, a great riding and handling car.
Do you want a more mass produced car or a more limited hand built car. The Kirkham cars will be going up in price very soon and this will help the value of the current cars. It comes down to money and what you want to spend.
We have some great deals on both cars. Thanks, Keith Craft
