I do not,...want to put down the SPF or the owner, as I believe the SPF is a wonderful cobra. Although it seems that they have the "name factor" as todays top cobra on the market, not including the alum. Shelby or kirkham. I think some are over priced like the one noted here.
On cobra country, there is a Kirkham asking $78.995 (obo) and a SPF for $65,000.
The SPF looks to be a outstanding and high quality built cobra and would love to have it in my garage. It helps to be painted blue like my cobra. lol
For the money, which would you choose ?
I do know this, if I had the funds to spend, for around $12,000 more (which wouldn't make a difference to me) I could have my favorite muscle car of all time, a Kirkham !
It's a no brainier to me which car is a better cobra or investment.
The Kirkham has a well built 428FE, not a side oiler.
The SPF has the Roush 427SR/TW polished Dart 4-bolt block, but not the stacked EFI.
