That thread was brutal. So brutal in fact that Jamo had to lock it down.
That gentleman for months asked questions about almost every nook and cranny on his car. He spent $127,000 on his Kirkham and then sold it for about $88,000. It had a KC/CSX 527ci (+/-) engine and literally had everything option you could think of, including heater, defroster and top. Noted Cobra restorer, David Wagner of MI, finished it for him. It was top-of-the-line in every way. I think he subsequently went back to and purchased another Corvette. He only had the car for maybe a couple of months. A slightly different story, but very sad indeed.
