Back in the days before I got the Kirkham, we were talking to a dealer from Florida who showed up with some demos at the Historics. Seemed like a damn nice car back then...especially compared to the first generation Vipers with truck motors and cub scout pup tents for convertible roofs.
The problem was with the first batch of cars out, naturally aspirated Olds Aurora engines.....they didn't live up to their promises/expectations, that's why CS put superchargers on them....Later cars could be had with or without the superchargers....
