Dave Kirkham and some of his employees hangs around on this site quite a bit. He runs poles now and then to see what the Cobra nuts like and dislike. He and his employees have given me tips and answered questions when I had probems, and I do not own a Kirkham. I have talked with Kirkham owners, as well. You could not deal with a better company or people. I do believe a Kirkham sets the standard that all other replicas are compared to. Even above a Shelby continuation in my mind.

I personally think that someday in the future Kirkhams will be collectable cars fetching prices near (2/3 to 3/4) an original's price. I don't think many other replicas will be able to hold the value that a Kirkham will hold, and there are some superb replicas out there, as mentioned in this thread.

I think Kieth Craft teamed up with Dave to sell a few turn key cars. I recall thinking the price was quite reasonable considering what you were getting. You should check into this. Buy the way, Kieth is also always on this site helping others, as the Kirkhams do. You couldn't go wrong with these two.

In the end it is the money. I personally could not swing this type of money without giving up retirement, but if I could, there is no doubt, it is what I would do.
