If anything, these cars seem undervalued."


" While Kirkham makes beautiful Cobras out of aluminum (inclusive of the Shelby branded aluminum cars), they are replicas. The AC Mk. IV is the real deal"


" If a new CSX or Kirkham is in the $300K-350K range…and revisions to a Mark IV would be in the $50K to $75K max, a Mark IV, with its provenace, before revisions/engine should theoretically be in the $200K+ range"



~those nasty Kirkhams......LOLOLOL!!!!
Just a note for clarification the next time a 20 year old thread gets revived

Superformance does not offer Aluminum cars of their own manufacturer, they are sourced from Kirkham for Shelby products only, not SPF.
