Good info!! Billboards have slight cracking take off $1,000, one side pipe has small dent and side pipe paint is not continuous, I guess the new owner can get another can of oven paint. Body is so filthy I cannot tell how many scratches are actually there, maybe none, but what I dont know I assume. Engine leaking oil and if it only has 500 miles it was the hardest 500 miles but possilbe and that is what the odometer said. I would not give 1 penny over $65K. I would rather spend $80K and know exactly what I have with a documented engine build. This engine may have a documented build but I never saw any paperwork and it was not offered. The block was supplied by SA and the owner supplied heads and bolts? The only thing that impressed me was the aluminium body, (my wife thought it was scratched, I told her that is a brushed finish LOL) I loved and was memorized by the body and the craftsmanship other than that the car was not a standout to me so the only thing that can make it a standout is a low price. The heads were painted blue, I guess they were aluminium. You forgot to mention in your price you are getting a NEW car, this was a 2005 build. Buddy noticed slight rust marks on the windsheild upright. Like I said for mid 60's you cant go wrong above that is diminishing value. Sheet if you cannot clean a car up to show how much do you want sell or just passify somone else wanting you to sell??

Billboards +1K, 42-gallon gas tank +$2K. There are some miscellaneous options installed on that Kirkham, but don't add anything significant. So, that car as a roller sans engine and tranny is $70K. Thus, for $70, you get the Kee toploader, aluminum head dual quad FE S/O engine, miscellaneous options and the fitting of the headers for free.

It may sell for $65K, but I will tell you that for that price range, I just may have to buy it.
