427 S/C is my first choice, then 427 Street, then FIA, then, lastly, the slabside. Just my two cents worth.

Aluminum doesn't mean all that much to me.... If the glass and alum. cost the same I'd be hard pressed to make a choice...
The 427 street is a great looking car but for me the FIA edges it out.... Be proud to drive either....

The slabside really doesn't do much for me unless it has some racing flares, heavy rubber & #'s on the side.

Gee....
..I would gladly pay $79.95 but Wally-World will have it on sale for $39.87.....
Come'on guys....you know the basic real world price will be a factor here....somethin' about silk purses and sows ears....
These COULD be available for very little money, IF you can get skilled craftsmen to work for $4.61 per hour, someone else donates all the material and the investors are not entitled to any return on the investment!
While I have posted that there is less time in the building of such as car as compared to what the sellers want you to believe, there is still a substantial amount of time and material that goes into a well constructed "Cobra".
If it looks too good to be true.......

I'd pay upwards of $50K--but it should include full weather gear and a heater. I see Slabsides as usable everyday vehicles. A Morgan you can live with. Options should include a radio, luggage rack.
BRG, tan leathers please.
If (when) Kirkham sells them, huge discounts should be given to previous customers.

CSX 4027 / Steve,
I've wondered the same thing. The Slabside with wires is my favorite Cobra of all time. Set up mostly how you described, with a 5-speed too; maybe a small dual carb setup. I'm probably 1 out of 50 on this, but will eventually sell my ERA 427 to buy one of these. Don't get me wrong, I love my ERA, but the purist side of me says I will retire or pass on with a slabside wire-wheel car in my garage. I'd pay around 45K for a new, quality, well built slabside car. I will most likely seek a well built fiberglass body over an aluminum one in this range, if it's available 5-10 years from now when I'm done with my 427 SC.
