Jorgen,
Here's the listing:
1965 SHELBY COBRA KIRKHAM ROADSTER
LOT #496 - RESERVE

2003 PBCCA CCA
HIGH BID OF $32,000


No photos
available.
OPTIONS
COLOR - SILVER
CYLINDERS - 8
VIN - KMP207



This "kirkham motor sports" replica of the "highly sought after" 1965 shelby cobra is the "same" car sold in las-vegas at the shelby plant for $130,000. This shelby features an "original 427 cubic inch" side-oiler, numbers matching. Completely re-built and has "5" minutes on the motor. The transmission is a "tremac" all aluminum 5-speed with over drive and a close ratio shift pattern. Clutch is a 3-disk racing version with
"hydraulic assist". Feels like a daily driver. This car handles better than a new z--06 corvette and corners on rails. A steal at $100,000.00


It just goes to show that the bidders fancy changes yearly. Who knows what the marque will be next year or even if it will remain as strong at similar Kruse auctions.
