Ellison Kirkham, with die cast frame
If you had more money than God, you would have this car. Ordered by the founder of Oracle--a polished Kirkham with a die cast frame. He also got a couple books on the build, I'd like to see the book that comes with a million dollar car. Hopefully his children will put dad's car in a movie--they are both film producers

"The Book of Kirkham" Very funny Bill. 
I have the book...it is a work of art in and of itself.
This book documents the project build from beginning to end. It wasn't until after the book was printed that there was any real thought to distributing it in any fashion beyond a few copies for those intimately involved in the project and a few close friends. As people have begun to see copies of the book, we've had requests to sell the billet aluminum bound book. The billet bound book is available on an extremely limited basis for $4,500 per copy. This is the ultimate hardcover book. To make the machined aluminum binding requires more than 35 pounds of aluminum plate and over 30 hours of CNC mill time for each book. Every page is printed on premium 12" x 12" cover stock. For the story of the creation of the billet aluminum bound book, see chapter 22.

You mean you either missed or don't remember the epic billet cobra build thread?

Ummm...there's a HUGE difference between "die cast" and billet.  |
