I've driven some lower quality replicas that were assembled very well by a knowledgable builder that actually drove nice and solid, and I had originally expected them to be junk. On the flip side, driven some better quality replicas that were not assembled very well or not maintained well that totally felt and drove like junk.
The final assembly, attention to detail, and maintenance after use has something to do with it too especially when comparing used Cobra replicas out there.

Gary, I am curious , why you are" just curious".. There is no such thing as a bad Kirkham. Based on your past post, I just think you want to start some crap.... I could be wrong...Oh, and believe it or not... there are a boat load of nice Factory Five cars out there. Have a nice day.

If it says Chebbie its junk!
Just kidding but the Vega was reasl junk as well as the Pinto and most of the cars made in the seventies. If it breaks all the time, falls apart or the panels don't match and the paint starts cracking, then you may consider it junk. But when you see CSX2000 the first Cobra belonging to CS, can you say that's junk?
Merry Christmas

JUNK
RACERAL, I only used Kirkham and Factory five as because Kirkham seems to be the most "respected" and Factory five is the easiest to get into financially. I was not in any way putting these two at opposite ends of the spectrum! I f that was the impression I gave, I am clarifying that now. I know of 2 Factory Five cars here in Albuquerque that are magnificent cars. Done very well, by knowledgeabel people. There arent many Cobras here and my main source of "Cobra Education" is on this website! While most of you have buddies in the same Cities with Cobras and can compare, I simply cant put my car nest to another one and ride in other ones, etc. etc. My only means of comparison is the photos on this site. I see some body lines I like and some that just look like $hit!(names withheld)
