Let's assume for the moment that the OP's car is a Kirkham, then a previous owner went through the process of eliminating any Kirkham serial/VIN numbers and then make the decision to add an AC plate and stamp COB #'s in a few places? From my side of the peanut of gallery that sounds like the beginnings of a deception to me.
Kimmins was an early supplier of csx4000 aluminum bodied cars prior to Shelby getting involved with Kirkham. Just taking a quick look at the SAAC registry the other day I noticed that Kimmins bought a 289 chassis only from Kirkham. I suppose I should have checked if they purchased other chassis from Kirkham.
