I don't think you have to worry - Shelby ain't going nowhere until he wants to.

Machineman,
Never thought about that...have to talk to the accountant.
jamvan,
I will be in the office tomorrow. Seems like a few customers wanted to come buy. I just sent you an email.
djseed,
Shelby has been in business a long time and has more than one company. The Las Vegas operation doesn't make the blocks. I expect them to be in business for a long time. He has a great name and he wrote a BIG chunk of our world's automotive history. He got where he is because he works hard. Not too many people can claim to have won Le Mans BOTH as a driver AND as a team. I can't.
Pat,
I agree.

Anybody with a decent CNC mill should be able to whip one of those blocks in a few days.

So what we're really saying is that if Kirkham can do such a good job replicating the car, why couldn't they replicate a side oiler? I can't think of anyone more suited to the challenge...

One the list
I just couldn't hold back any longer...
I made the leap into ownership.
...having made the decision to take the leap based on nights posting exchanges, I will soon be a new owner of one of the Kirkham's (oops) 427s! Deposit is en route via overnight FedEx.
Every once in a great while, luck and not skill win out.
Thanks to those great folks....

BD,
Did you mean Kirkham or Kirkland, I think they are both sold at Costco.

I was one of the lucky to take David up on his offer. I was in Provo today, and I was never happier to write a $5000 check in my life. A few observations.
1. David was dead serious about the offer. No hedging, weaseling or waffeling. This was a stand and deliver deal from a stand and deliver organization.
2. If you have not seen a Kirkham car in person, you must -- incredible. The Rolex of the industry IMHO.
3. I'm the guy who never wins anytthing, but I feel like I came pretty darn close today. Thanks, David!
