When researching which car to buy, I wrote off the Kirkham because their 289FIA and slabside were more money than I wanted to spend. The quality of the Kirkham cars that I inspected was exceptional.

I wrote off the Shelby for two reasons. One, they also cost considerably more than I wanted to spend. Second, the first two Shelby cars I saw had been poorly assembled and finished by the Las Vegas facility and required considerable time and money to make them right after delivery. Both owners complained that SAI seemed somewhat disinterested in making it right. In one case SAI sent the replacement parts, but the owner had to pay to have the car corrected.
