I would want the brushed finish myself, say $58K. But $52 would work if your gonna paint it anyway (allow $6K for that?). Add tax, shipping and misc costs (travel, etc.)? I'm thinking $60K by the time your ready for a motor!

And NO WAY you want any motor less than a 427 SO in a Kirkham? Hmmm,,,,wonder what those are going for these days? 351W would save a ton of money, it's tempting, but it just aint "right". Add a top loader, drive shaft, bell housing, etc.

$80K plus when the smoke has cleared, but could be done for less if you got "connections" or have that 427SO sitting around in your garage all ready (yeah, right)! Whats interesting about this is:
It costs about the same to build one as to buy a used one! That says a lot about their great "re-sale" value!!!! Try to match that with just about ANY other Cobra!
