This is a heck of an opportunity for someone. Add $5000 to $10,000 for paint and you'd have one heck of a nice car........

And you would paint this car why? I have seen many Kirkhams on the rode and not one with paint, hell no one would know it was a Kirkham.

With the KMS price hike this is a bargain.

I think he may have been joking about the paint.

BTW, It is a smokin' deal.

Or a CSX alloy for that matter. All you have to do is feel under the fenders.

Also, that is the asking price. i would assume the seller would deal on the price to make a sale. On top of that the seller might be paying a commission to the dealer also.

Wow You mean Kirkhams have gone down in price too?

I thought that only happened to Shelbys in this economy.

Actually, point in fact even original Cobra prices are soft now.

Yea, that looks pretty sweet. Looks alot cleaner than the one I looked at for $75K, but once again the other may have cleaned up as well.

Yep, I was kinda kidding. You see, I have a habit of suggesting that Kirkham owners cannot afford paint after shelling out all that cash for an aluminium body....

The retail price on a fully polished car is $10K. So paint is affordable. The majority pick no paint, because....they can.

Ron, good luck with the sale. It's priced right.

Thanks,

I love this car, and think that a Kirkham is undoubtedly a steal for what you get for the money (not just mine, but just about any Kirkham). I already have pangs of seller's remource, but have my eyes on a particular GT at the moment.

I've already told my wife that I'd like another Kirkham sometime in the future (her eyes got real big there). And I plan on attending all the Kirkham gatherings that I can (even with paying my own way to attend track days...I just like the people).

I wouldn't assume too much. The listed price is pretty dang good.

Could I pry and ask which brand or are you talking about a 2005-2006 Ford GT?

I ended up finally getting $80K for KMP297 but it took awhile and the car ended up going to a buyer in France. I had alot of U.S. tire kickers/low ballers but no realistic offers.
