Interesting car...
That's strange, because I don't remember it being for sale before. Personally, I think it's really cool and would be interested, but for the price.

Gunner, I'm not sure when it was built and what KMP serial number is, without my handy dandy SAAC Registry in front of me, but if Chas' and Patrick's ERAs are about 2,650 lbs, and my Kirkham weighs in at 2,128, then the additional weight of the copper would bring the total weight of the copper Kirkham, with an aluminum engine, to the approximate weight of an ERA.

To me, that would be one cool car to own, although polishing copper may make polishing aluminum look like a day at the beach.
