Default Kirkham FIA Cobra for sale

2003 Kirkham FIA aluminum bodied Cobra for sale #030. The only reason this car is for sale is that i am 6'3" and simply can not fit into the driver compartment with any degree of comfort. Before i bought the car i new it would be a tight squeeze but i thought with adjustments i would fit. I have spoken to the best minds concerning this problem and short of modifyin the car i have come to the conclusion that i am just to tall to ride comfortably. It is truely a shame becouse this is the coolest car in the world. I have owned this car since january of 2003 and have put all of 50 miles on the car. If you are wondering this is the "Jenny" car. Since i recieved the car it has spent the bulk of its time with my mechanic sorting out electrical, mechanical and performance issuse. I have also spent this time replacing non period correct parts with those that would make the car look more authenic. I am sorry to say that I have tried 3 times to write this ad and attach pictures but each time my ad is rejected becouse my photos go over the 40,000 bytes. For anyone that is interested i have numerous pictures that i can send you along with a detailed history of its build up, drive train specs, and a list of all the performance parts. The Cobra is now fully sorted. It is fast, nimble and a blast to drive. Here is a brief overview of the cars components, a more detailed report can be e-mailed to you if you contact me at mattsa.gearhead@verizon.net.....Just a note, this car is complete and ready to go, it needs nothing...The Cobra FIA came from Kirkham with the polished aluminum body and ghost stripes, it also has the very desirable KMP aluminum Dana 44 rear end housing and 3:31 gears...The drive train is a period correct Hi-Po 289 making approcimently 350 hp...The transmission is a David Kee's Ford Top Loader 4 spd, ....the rear has 3:31 gears, excellent for all around driving, ......the interior is leather and has been carpeted...the shifter is period correct with a working reverse lockout.....there is a correct Harrison expansion tank which has been properly fitted.....racing mirrors have been added along with wind wings....in conclusion this Cobra is ready for track or driving on the street......$64,950.00...please contact eith any questions...thanks Matt
