Default Any Kirkham's in Florida?

Just curious if there are any other Kirkham cars in Florida or more specifically in the Tampa Bay area?

Default I don't think anyone is ignoring you........

There's not that many around in the general Cobra population. They are really nice, high quality aluminum vehicles and consequently they are twice the cost of any other Kit. When I think of a Kirkham; I think a 100 grand in a heartbeat. That typically puts them out of reach of the average Cobra buff and budget. I remember talking with the Kirkham folks in the late 90's when they had a bare, aluminum roller in the outside tent at the International Car show in New York City Javits Center. I looked in awe at the bare aluminum roller and I remember walking away with a buddy of mine from our military days and commenting........ "wow; the guy said $59,000 and I think that's unfinished". Keith put one together last year and it was $110k at "his" cost. Not a cheap a cheap date, generally speaking. Plus; they haven't been around that long. So I am not that surprised when you don't see many of them in the general populace. Having said that; I am sure you payed your dues and earned it. Nice machine. I would love to tackle the engineering aspects of racing one. I know I could launch serious wheel stands with it. Yep... wheely bars on a Cobra; thats a trip.
