That is a great looking Cobra. Love the look of the engine as well. 427? Dyno'd? Had an early CSX4000 made for In N Out burger and was tested for Road and Track. Fun car, but "hot" living in TX.

Beautiful car! And the company is based right in good ol' Provo Utah, where I went to school.

Anyone have any experience with their 289 coupe? I think that's a beautiful car.

Amazing cars! Always wanted one, then came to my senses realizing I can't really drive it in the Texas heat, or maybe I just grew old and became boring.

I loved my Kirkham but had the same problem in the Arizona sun and heat. I could only drive it at night and after 4 years I sold it. That black & red Cobra is striking garage art. Doesn't need to be driven to enjoy that!

Very very nice, congrats.
Really like the Kirkhams, especially the 289 FIA!
Maybe in the future!
