Fiberglass Kirkham listed???

It's a 7000 series CSX.

I thought that 7000 had already sold according to party listing it, but I see it's still up on eBay.

Well, if there was ever a question about who "makes" the nicest glass Cobra :cool:
Who did the body? |
Not real sure about this one but Kirkham did a short tryout stint at making
fiberglass bodies a number of years ago but decided to stick to aluminum bodies. |
Think this is a HT car, via SPF ?
Not 100% but this looks like a HT car as the earlier cars via SAI were wider hip cars. Might be a question for Ross or Rick. My monies on the seller is misinformed.... :rolleyes: Guessing I lost! :) Lesson of the day! |
From SAAC: Per David Kirkham
Re: 1964 SHELBY COBRA CSX7000 SERIES 50TH ANNIVERSARY LIMITED COLLECTORS EDITION « Reply #4 on: March 08, 2018, 04:53:29 PM » Quote Wow! I almost forgot about these cars. Long, long ago, in galaxy far, far away, we actually DID make 4 fiberglass cars. I'm not surprised everyone (almost including me) forgot about them. I sold all 4 of them to my friend/buddy/Shelby Dealer/All Around Cool Dude Bill DenBeste. We made 2 of the 427 cars (I think), one 289 FIA, and one 289 Street. Bill bought all of them. He sent the 289 FIA to us a while ago for some updates (if I remember right) and it was really nice--like all the cars, or anything else, Bill does. It's nice to see it for sale! Good luck to Bill and Stephen!!! David :):):) |
The Cobra in question is being advertised as a Shelby 50th Anniversary model, weren’t the glass bodied Kirkhams done long before the Anniversary FIA Cobras were made available?
If I remember correctly the glass Kirkhams were going to include aluminum, hood, doors and trunk lid. |

I would like to clarify my initial post of “one of none”, I was unaware that the “Kirkhams” had toyed with the idea of any other glass bodied version of the Cobra other than the 427 variant. I stand corrected, thank you David. I’ll have to look to see if CC has the original posting still available.

Bill Still Has one of them in his showroom

I remember if someone had a deposit on the new Kirkham fiberglass car and Kirkham shelved the idea, they got their refund back or applied to an alloy roller.
Killer deal Maurice |

You are correct sir. I was one of them. |
One of the Nor-Cal Cobra guys also took advantage of the deal.
Kirkhams did good. Maurice |
