I have a registry- one of the first ones with all the ORIGINAL/GENUINE Cobras and Shelby mustangs in it. Although I have not had the need to reference it in over 20 years I don't recalL Kirkham being in it. Not sure because it has been some time as stated and with hundreds of hand-written notes in there....and you know the binding(good job SAAC) was useless so most of the Cobra stuff became loose.
I mean they are not original/genuine so why do some have to explain what they have is original/genuine by all these terms. lol  |
Kirkhams can be found in the 4th edition of the SAAC Cobra/GT40 specific registry. If you have a 20 year old registry, you should check out the new edition. It is a huge book with lots of good information.
I cannot recall exactly where I got the "impression" of why Kirkhams are in the new registry, but it was probably either here or maybe or over at the SAAC forum site. Since I don't have a reference to a forum posting or recall who may have said what I vaguely remember, I cannot back up my statement, which is why I called it an "impression".
I also seem to recall that Shelby was not too happy about Kirkhams in the SAAC registry during the legal mess between him and SAAC.
