I am in the midst of trying to conclude a purchase on a Kirkham. I received a call today from a fellow wanting to sell me an English bodied Cobra CSX replica. I asked if it is an AC body. I was told it was another shop that works with AC and would be limited in production numbers. The price quoted was $145,000.00 for a painted roller. There seems to be no discounting
(" because Shelby frowns upon discounting"). I do not know the standard items that come with the roller; I have no idea how this car differs from a Kirkham: no indication as the real production numbers and how saturated the market may become which may affect future resale value. After calling Shelby, attempting to call several dealers and searching the web I have no answers and no price list. Anyone have any knowledge of the differences, value retention, pricing of any options, dealers who are willing to discount, quality as compared to a Kirkham? Sounds like a money for a CSX number. It also sounds like a lot of money for a company with a poor support network.
My gut is there is little competition for Kirkham's quality and support. David and Tom seem to more concerned about their product but I think it is worthwhile to listen to other parties/sources.
