We like to call them "specially constructed vehicles", not kits, since they're built completely by the manufacturer, sans engine and transmission due to modern Federal laws and standards.

Love Kirkhams. My favorite cobra. I have a Unique cobra. Uniques are considered mid-range. Mine is well sorted with a 408cu (stroked 351) for around 470 hp

Heres a pic, 289 body style is pretty rare compared to the 427 style

"kit n sports uniform (e.g. rugby kit, football kit). More generally in the U.K., kit refers to the equipment necessary to perform a particular task - usually, though not always, sporting. The boundary is woolly to such a degree that it’s difficult to generalise - I've heard all sorts of things from parachutes to computers referred to as “kit.” nice piece of kit an item particularly good at performing its task in hand. Again it could refer to pretty much anything, though I think you'd be more likely to describe your new camera as a nice piece of kit than, say, your fiancé."

I love 289's, street or FIA, and have even thought about getting one to make a matched set, but I'm now leaning heavily towards a 993, but haven't decided between an S or a Cab.

Here are some more pics of my "wide body S model" from last Friday. The car is done except for putting some miles on it to make sure everything continues to work properly. I should have it home next week.

WOW! Kirkham heh? You know your Cobras...

Remember, trailing throttole out of the turns and once the wheels are straight slowly press the go juice. Otherwise, you will be "in the rough"

GORGEOUS.
